I tried copying your code into a file called webcam:
#/bin/bash -x

curl http://www.wildcam.com/public/cams/image_kwa.jsp | grep 
"http://us.images.wildcam.com/camimages" | awk '{print $8}' | awk -F = 
'{print $2}' | awk -F \> '{print $1}' | tee ~/Scripts/gtkdeskinf/image

wget -i ~/Scripts/gtkdeskinf/image -O ~/Scripts/gtkdeskinf/image.jpg
composite -gravity center ~/Scripts/gtkdeskinf/image.jpg 
~/Pictures/wood.png woodtest1.png
cp woodtest1.png ~/Pictures/woodtest.png

I then installed cur and tried to run webcam from a terminal. This is 
the output that I got:


phillip at voogdy-study:/media/PHILLIP4G$ ./webcam

/home/phillip/Scripts/gtkdeskinf/image.jpg: No such file or directory
./webcam: line 6: composite: command not found
cp: cannot stat `woodtest1.png': No such file or directory

I have obviously done something wrong: Any suggestions?
