I am intrested if anyone knows how to switch the current screen of the console
automaticly.  Basicly here is my delima, I have more than one status monitoring
packages (why cant there be just one?) and I have them running on 2 or more
screens all the time.  Im not always sitting at the console, and sure enough,
the screen I last left on is not the one I want to be looking at.  So Im
curious if anyone has some code or would quicly write some up ;-) that would
switch the multiscreens automaticly.  Basicly what im looking for is
somthing that will switch between 2 or more screens on the console after
a minute or so.  That way not only will my screen not get burned in, but
it will also allow me to just glance at the monitor to see whats going on.
I have attempted to figure out the sys/keyboard.h file, and map it myself, but
with no luck.  If anyone has done this or knows how to use the silly
sys/keyboard.h file, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help somone can provide.
