Want to cycle through multiple #screen windows automatically?

1. start screen session with > 1 windows
2a. on another terminal, run "while screen -X next; do sleep 30 ; done"
2b. alternatively, add crontab entry "screen -X next"

Of course, when you have multiple screen sessions, don't forget the session name

#unix #linux #BSD

Add #asciiquarium to one window ;-)
