Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 to monitor several differing parts of my network on a wall mounted monitor.
All the monitoring is done using several instances of Nagios within Chromium using several different tabs.

I would like to automate the switch over to the next tab after a pre-set amount of time though I am struggling to find any help on how to achieve this.

Can anyone help please?

Best regards,

I have redirected my query to the Chromium usergroup for an answer they have suggested that I create my own extension as the functionality doesn't currently exist.

You can create an extension that changes the currently active tab.
See https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/index.html in order to get started and specifically, the chrome.tabs (http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs.html) API.

I shall be giving this a try... A programmer I am not (but one day maybe).

Further to this... There is an extension caller "Revolver Tabs" which does the job.
