Hello All, I have done a search on the SuSE 9.2 DVD and can not find what I am after. I am after a program to send an image up to a web site once every minute. Does such a program exist for SuSE ? -- Clive. Fighting for darker skies. From 52:26:31N 01:27:48W

How about cron + shell script + ftp? Sandy

I have no idea how to write script's or tinker with the internal workings of SuSE. So I asked about a program that would do this for me. -- Clive. Fighting for darker skies. From 52:26:31N 01:27:48W

Time to start learning perhaps? Shell scripts, cron and ftp aren't exactly "inner workings" and they're used for a great deal of things. Take some time in your /usr/share/doc/packages directories.. Anders.

You can do it with a simple cron script.

It's pretty easy. Use "curl" to do this. Example curl -u $account:$password -T $localfilename \ ftp://www.server.tld/$destfilename assuming you'll use ftp to upload. Replace to placeholder marked with "$" with your real settings and adapt the url. Now put this into your /etc/crontab as a single line 0-55/5 * * * * curl -u account:password -T localfilename ftp://www.server.tld/destfilename do crontab -r crontab /etc/crontab and ensure cron is running! rccron status Sure that helps!

Follow up: You have to remove the backslash when you put the command in a single line. My mailclient does a linebreak on 72 chars so i've to write it in two lines. curl -u $account:$password -T $localfilename ftp://www.server.tld/$destfilename The polarizer polarizers at its best http://www.glass-polariser.com

Presumably you are thinking of images from a webcam, http://www.smcc.demon.nl/camstream/ Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and Keen Flyer =====ALMOST ALL LINUX USED HERE, Solaris 10 SPARC is just for play=====
