Re: run arbitrary program as screensaver?
If you use xscreensaver you can simply get it to run a program by including a line in
your .xscreensaver file. Fir example, I get it to run qiv to cycle over a set of
images via:
more ~/.xscreensaver
programs: \
/usr/bin/X11/qiv -sfid 2.5 ~/Slideshows/almworkshop/* \n
