On Script is needed and two .icsrc files. Create a standard.icsrc with the
following text

Yourlogin
YourPassword
set 7

then create a standalone.icsrc file with the following text

Yourlogin
YourPassword
set 7 Standalone mode - Operator is probably not there


Then use a this script

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
	1)
	cp standard.icsrc .icsrc
	xboard -zp -ics -icshost freechess.org \
	-fcp "/home/crafty/crafty" -fd /home/crafty -xexit -autoflag \
	-zippyPassword makemydaysucker -icshelper /home/crafty/timeseal \
	-xdrag -xanimate -thinking -xautoraise \
	-zippyGameStart "kib Enjoy your game and see finger note for more details"
	;;

	2)
	cp standalone.icsrc .icsrc
	xboard -zp -ics -icshost freechess.org \
	-fcp "/home/crafty/crafty" -fd /home/crafty -xexit -autoflag \
	-zippyPassword makemydaysucker -icshelper /home/crafty/timeseal \
	-xdrag -xanimate -thinking -xautoraise \
	-zippyGameStart "kib Enjoy your game and see finger note for more details" \
	-xrm '*zippyGameEnd: seek 5  f\n seek 10  f\n seek 15  f\n resume'
	;;

	*)
	echo "1=Standard 2=Standalone"
	exit 0
