cron is likely not loading _your_ environment completely.
Recommend you write a script to do this, and include the ImageMagick
command in that. In the script, source or otherwise set your normal
environment. THEN try it.

Thanks Tom
I'll see about updating it - but probably wont be able to. I just wonder why
cron isn't working -
when the command line is.
I've looked in the man pages for Imagemagick and cron and can't see where
I'm going wrong.
I'm running convert from the full path.
I have read about someone using gnome-screengrab (or something like that) as
an alternative
- they screen grabbed xwindow 0 image to home direectory then cron'd ftp
upload.

gif
and then cron the gif by ftp to a website regularly.
It is supposed also to produce snapshot.png if you have ImageMagick
installed
in such a way that Xastir's configure process can find it. Xastir uses
ImageMagick to convert the xpm file to .png. That it isn't doing that for
you
suggests there's something wrong with your install and ImageMagick isn't
being found when it's built. The fall-back position to not having
ImageMagick
is to use the XPM library instead.
