Press Ctrl + C to exit it.

and run:
Code:
cmatrix -s
to put it into screen saver mode.

thanks for the ctrl-c but the cmatrix -s still just runs it in my terminal. this isn't a big deal, but i just want to solve this little puzzle. when u say run it u simply mean cmatrix -s in terminal correct?

Hmm, So I had a look into this, and apparently you can't set the program to run as a full screen saver.

however, they may be a way to run a program after the computer has been idle for a certain amount of time?
