That said, if you can convince whatever program is taking the snapshots to name them this way: P-yyyy:mm:dd-hr:min:sec.jpg then all you have to do is: ls -1 P-*jpg | tail -n 1 or something along those lines. If you can't get it to rename them, then there are lots of other options, all of which would involve reading the filenames and sorting them. You could do it using bash, but it might be easier to do it in perl.
