Oops. I read minutes.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (1) {
if (fork) {
sleep 10;
}
else {
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
$filename = sprintf "%04i-%02i-%02i.jpg", $year+1900, $mon+1, $mday;
system "cp /usr/whatever /usr/newplace/$filename";
# could have used 'system "cp /usr/whatever /usr/newplace/`date +%Y-%m-%d`.jpg'
# but that's ugly. and if you want to step up the pace, spawning a date
# process every second might be bad for you (dunno your machine's
# capacity).
}
