Here is my current setup in cron: 0,30 * * * * wget http://weather.srh.noaa.gov/radar/images/rad_us.gif -O /home/lance/weather/rad_us.gif 2,32 * * * * wmsetbg -display :0.0 -e ~/weather/rad_us.gif -w 2 Seems like this should update but it doesn't. How would I use imagemagick to update the image? Lance -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
