This is AutoIt (google for AutoIt 3) script that I use to keep my TWS (demo or real account) alive for ever (manual shutdown).
Code
Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
TraySetIcon("Shell32.dll", 180)
; Demo mode
Do
WinWaitActive("Exit Session Setting")
WinMove("Exit Session Setting", "", Default, Default, 320, 200)
; Make AM to PM & PM to AM
If @HOUR > 12 Then
MouseClick("left", 156, 78, 1)
Else
MouseClick("left", 208, 78, 1)
EndIf
MouseClick("left", 120, 188, 1)
Sleep(4000)
WinClose("Exit Session Setting")
Until 1 = 2
; Never exit
Code
Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
TraySetIcon("Shell32.dll", 180)
; Live mode
Do
WinWaitActive("Exit Session Setting")
WinMove("Exit Session Setting", "", Default, Default, 320, 170)
; Switch from AM to PM & PM to AM

This AutoIt script will allow you to automate the TWS login for demo account.
Code
Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
If NOT WinExists("Login") Then
; Run TWS
ShellExecute("C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe", "-cp jts.jar;hsqldb.jar;jcommon-1.0.12.jar;jfreechart-1.0.9.jar;jhall.jar;other.jar;rss.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmx512M jclient/LoginFrame D:\Jts", "D:\Jts")
; Wait
WinWait("Login")
EndIf
