[kde-linux] Programmed (bash, cron) desktop switch

[jim at okgeosurvey1.gov]

SuSE 9.x 10.1
KDE 3.4.0 Level B

KDE 3.5.5 Release 45

We manage some remote seismic
displays using X11VNC, while
managing the remote computers
mostly with SSH.

I would like to set up these
remote displays to do something
like this: 

display desktop 1 xx05 xx60 minutes
after every hour, and display
desktop 2 from xx00 to xx55,
or more complicated pattern.

I know how to use cron.

What I do not know is the
bash command which will change
desktops.

If it exists, I am looking for
a generic bash(?) command which
will switch desktop xx to desktop
yy.

Expiermenting with changing the
"DISPLAY" environmental has not
helped me so far.Of course, with
the virtual X11VNC mouse I can switch
remote desktops, but I really want
to do it with bash (or other)
scripts and cron.
