Peppercorn Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Hi I am accessing a Satellite weather picture which updates twice daily. The photo that I am after changes it's name as the date changes though. For instance yesterdays would be called 070804.jpg Todays is called 080804.jpg (Australias dating system) Tomorrows would be 090804.jpg Is there anyway of setting up Gkrellkam to automatically download a picture from this site daily via a script or something?? Or for that matter can a script be written to change the config file that Gkrellm accesses?? Thanks for any help Peppercorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Just an idea here... Do they offer an XML feed of this ? Maybe you could use gdesklet's weather setup and hack it to show your satellite picture instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppercorn Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Ahh I'm not sure as I don't know too much about xml. It does seem to have to end in a picture file extension to work though like .jpg or .gif It won't download a html file for instance. Thanks for the idea anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
