Screensaver.

Not a life threatening situation, but how can I run a script, or a command, as a screensaver.

Meaning after XX minutes it will run the command:
/usr/bin/xlock -nolock -mode random -nice 19

The "-nice" would be nice, but not necessary. openSUSE 12.1 with all the current 64bit software loaded.

As it is I have screenblanking turned off and simply aliased the command and manually run it in a xterm (or whatever type of terminal it is, k, j, l, m, konsole, etcetera) whenever I want to. I'm an old fashioned guy, I have 5 xterms running and only use a GUI it's a requirement.
