I can do it in Bash so I can use ASCII codes for setting the terminal to inverted background etc.

If you haven't got Bash installed, you can "apt-get install bash" as the root user. Then type 'Bash' in XTerm to a Bash session. Then do this (you can type it all on one line)

Code:
while true; do 
   echo -e "\033[?5h\033[2J interval 1" ;
   sleep 20 ;
   echo -e "\033[?5l\033[2J interval 2" ;
   sleep 10 ;
done
