ImageMagick is just the tool I was looking for; it works great. The
only additional thing I would like to do is specify the amount of time
that the image displays. As an example, I want it to display for 60
seconds. I didn't see that capability associated with the "display"
application, but then again I didn't look that much either. Ideas?


display ... &
sleep 5
kill "$!"


<pedantic>
make that
display ... &
sleep 60
kill $!
</pedantic>


What if IFS is not the default? E.g.:

I was aiming at the requirement "I want it to display for 60 seconds".
