If you're not stuck on jpg images, you can simply pipe it through ppmtogif to get a useable web image.

My understanding is that xv has extensive command line options to allow its use in scripts.

Re: connectix quickcam difficulties
Thanks Syrus, I did just that before I left work yesterday, and it worked just fine. Another question can you make a script to use xv to save the file from an extention of ppm to jpg? Thanks again for all your help.

[Haven't tried these, but they should give you the idea] Alternatively f you have imagemagick installed: cqcam > filename.ppm convert filename.ppm filename.jpg convert filename.ppm filename.gif or if you have netpbm installed: cqcam | ppmtogif > filename.gif or if you have libjpeg-progs installed: cqcam | cjpeg > filename.jpg Please see the respective man pages for more options. As usual Linux has umpteen different ways to do the job. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
