What screensaver for Windows can display a console window, and be used to run a custom console application?

For example, a screensaver that could be configured with the command "ping -t 10.0.0.1". When activated, it blanks the screen and displays a continuous ping to a host. Then when the mouse moves, it terminates the "ping" process.

(That was an example; I'm looking for a general-purpose screensaver that can run any console application.)

Does such a thing exist?

Try Screen Launcher. It can run any application as a screen saver.

Good thought - but it doesn't blank the screen; nor does it kill the process once I move the mouse. – Calroth Nov 11 '10 at 6:51
