JBT is setup to close all positions at the end of the day. So hopefully this will not happen. This adds more reason to restart JBT every day (you SHOULD be monitoring whats going on if you are live trading!)
As for restarting JBT, you need to look into this special program: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibcontroller I think that is the right one. It's a java program which launches TWS, but intercepts window messages and automatically changes the auto-logout time.
