I have a program I call scrsav that runs as a daemon and times out the screen (By switching to a selected idle screen and blanking it etc.) and when it detects a ,, etc keypress (Or keystroke if you desire) will switch back to the previous screen. We have used it at all our clients etc. for the past 7 months. I have seen many requests for such a beast, however, I currently distribute it as shareware (flames to /dev/null). Knowing the general feeling about this I refuse to post it unless there is an overwhelming demand for me to do so. Here is the 'usage' message: Usage: scrsav [-k key_delay_ms] Millisecond delay between keypress checks [-c check_delay] Seconds to sleep between idle checks [-i idle_secs] Greater than idle_secs causes screen save [-b blank screen] Number of screen to use for blanking [-n] Don't idle when on screen with sticky bit set Please contact me via email if you are interested.
