I'm looking for an init/cdev/utility program (any one will do) that will
automatically launch an application after a specified interval of inactivity;
kind of like a screen blanker, but instead of blanking the screen, I want to
launch an application of my choice. 

The purpose for such a program would be to set up a demo unit which will 
automatically launch a running demo when it's not being used for other
applications. We currently have to quit out of the demo, then restart it
when finished. It would be nice if the demo could be set up to launch by
itself (as we are prone to forget to restart it). If anyone can suggest
such a utility, please respond to my address below.
