auto screen saver

[Raul Rego]

In order to save screen - can I activate a screen saver for 1 min - every
15-20 min and than have it close automatically?

Something like activateing a task and than auto closing it.

Thanks,

"Saving" the screen isn't really needed on modern monitors. In the old days
of black-and-white monitors, burn-in was a serious poblem, but today it's
much less of a problem, and the name "screen saver" is an anachronism.

The main purpose of using a screen saver today is to stop any curious
passers-by who may want to see what you've been doing.

My main reason for a Screen Saver, Ken, is to have my Railroad Pictures
slide show, (My Pictures Slideshow). I do not have to do anything to
start it. ;-)

the problem is, I have a display monitor - 42" tv - I want the screen saver
to start and end on its own every 5min.

Oh, so what you want is a rewinding video player? is that more what you
need for this application? or picture shower? I have Perl code that
I've hacked to make pictures be the BACKGROUND, but the icons show thru..

Not quite. I have a display which is always on. Sometimes that display
does not change, thus, I am afraid that it will burn the TV display. I will
like so0mething like a screensaver to popup for a minute or 2 every 5-10
minutes and close withing a minute or so.
