thanks for the script. it seems that the noautologout has solved my problem
already though :-)
but i have another question about the script: my winboard usually gives me a
dialog box "connection by ICS closed" with an OK button to click. only when i OK
this winboard closes; so that kind of script wouldn't restart winboard?!
