script for switching between workspaces

[AP_user]

Hello,
I'm looking for a script that automatically switches between all workspaces in regular intervals, e.g. 15 seconds or 1 minutes. Ideally, the user should be able to adjust the interval.

I need it for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and GNOME 2.30.2.

Hopefully you can help.

Come on you guys, does nobody have an idea?

Do you know a shell command to change "workspace"? You can make a script similar to this for that:

#!/bin/bash
until read -n 1 -t 15; do
    <place the command here>
done

In a terminal you'll just have to press a key to terminate it.

Unfortunately, I have not found a command to do that.

But one could avoid this problem by simulating the keyboard shortcut for switching workspaces: Ctrl + Alt + [some arrow key].

Do you know how to do that?

The <place the command here> you are looking for is wmctrl.
But it is an optional package.

Thanks for the advice!
