[ubuntu-za] Command line image editor?

[Quintin van Rooyen]

My script is hard coded to the directory structure I am running it in, and
you need to install imagemagick to run the "compose" command.

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
> tee: /home/phillip/Scripts/gtkdeskinf/image: No such file or directory


Run the following command to fix this:

mkdir ~/Scripts && mkdir ~/Scripts/gtkdeskinf

My script is looking for the specific file in the specific folder that it is
told to look in. I am working on an improved version.

This is the same issue that appears above - although it is downloading the
image, it does not know were to put it. If you run the above command it
SHOULD fix this problem.

My current backround image is called woodtest.png, and I combine the
different images into woodtest1, when the script fails at step 1 above, it
will not create woodtest1.png, thus the cp (copy) command will not run if it
does not find the file.

Finally you should run: "sudo apt-get install imagemagic" without quotes to
install the program I use to combine the images.

I am working on an improved version to fix these issues. Let me kwow if you
come right, or I'll just tar the whole shebang and mail it to you, including
my current background image.
