[SOLVED]Changing JWM desktop background via script

Hi all
Anyone know how to change the desktop background on-the-fly by means of a script?
Preferably one that does not need Xwin to be restarted.
I'm using JWM as the windows manager.
Thanks
Paulo.

Using "wallpaper" should create a script ~/.setbackground

Hi tinypoodle
wallpaper is a X app, I need to change the background from a script not from an app.
