Yes, that is certainly a good case for cloud services.

I also use cloud services for the same, but on a limited basis.

We used to run UNIX.COM in the cloud many years ago, but it was just a PITA compared to a top end dedicated box.

If we were not so "old and long in the tooth" here at UNIX.COM and did not have so much legacy PHP code, I might consider the cloud again, but we have far too much legacy code for cloud services.

       imsmap [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-ncol-
       ors int] [-delay seconds] [-iterations int] [-mode h|s|v|random] [-cycle] [-no-cycle]

DESCRIPTION

       The imsmap program generates map or cloud-like patterns.  It looks quite different in monochrome and color.

OPTIONS

       imsmap accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.	This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -visual visual
	       Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -ncolors integer
	       How many colors to use.	Default 50.

       -delay integer
	       How long to delay between images.  Default 10 seconds.

       -iterations integer
	       A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to 7.  Default 7.

       -mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ]
	       The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the foreground and background color.  Default random.

       -cycle

       -no-cycle
	       Whether to do colormap cycling.	Default is to cycle.

       -cycle-delay
	       Number of microseconds between shifts of the colormap; default 100000, or 1/10th second.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
