How to script workspace switching ?

I have setup 4 workspaces and would like switch between them every 4 seconds via a script..but how do i send keystrokes to the windowmanager (say Windowmaker) ?

I know that's not a general answer to your question, but under KDE it's easily done using the Desktop Communication Protocoll (DCOP). Simply type in a shell

Solved it by using xvkbd and a loop sending keys to move to a numbered workspace directly. Not as elegant but wmaker didn't know how to cycle properly anyway
