I made a build that switches between the lights programs and the simH
program, but you can't run them both at the same time without restarting
the system because of the way each works with the lights.  So, I made
scripts to do the work.  The lights program is called Deeper Thought.  Here
is my write up about how to get simH and Deeper Thought running on the same
system
