help me! i want to make a program which allow to copy a file: /usr/myname/webcamera.jpg to a file: /usr/myname/mydirectory/current_date.jpg AT EVERY 10 SECONDS. The current_date string must include HH/MM/.ss because I want to make an archive directory /usr/myname/mydirectory/ with photos taken every 10 seconds at the 11 August Solar Eclipse with a webcamera on our Unix FreeBSD 3.1 server. The webcamera produces a webcamera.jpg file EVERY TIME WITH THE SAME NAME: webcamera.jpg AND OVERWRITE IT. I WANT TO SAVE THESE pictues/FILES WITH NEW NAME: current_date.jpg but I don't know how to extract a strig from the date command. please help. #!/bin/sh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
