From the Winboard FAQ:
[B.21] Can I get Zippy to do one or more ICS commands automatically at the start
or end of each game?
By default, Zippy automatically sends the command "gameend" to ICS at the end of
each game. You can alias this command (using the ICS "alias" feature) to
anything you want. On ICC, you can use the "multi" feature to alias gameend to
several commands, but other servers don't have that feature. Zippy doesn't send
anything at the start of the game by default.
You can get Zippy to send one or more commands of your choosing, at the start
and/or end of each game, by using the -zippyGameStart and -zippyGameEnd command
line options, newly added in version 4.0.3. Both xboard and WinBoard have
(somewhat obscure) ways of getting newlines into this option to send several
commands. Here is an example of one way to do it for each.
xboard -ics -zp -xrm '*zippyGameStart: say hi\nsay prepare to die\n'
WinBoard /ics /zp /zippyGameEnd='say thanks\nseek 5 0\nseek 2 12\n'
