Random wallpaper script that changed w/ time?

[KyPeN]

Would this be possible? A script that runs a new "fbsetbg -r /path/to/walls" command on a set interval that is constantly running? I'm the biggest newb there is to scripting, so be gentle :p

I guess you could quite easily do this with cron - schedule it to run a script that sets a random background every once in a while. For the script you can probably find what you need in the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide (very interesting, to be found at http://www.tldp.org )
I've not used cron yet, though (another thing I have yet to do)

Or you could just use the chbg program

see HERE (http://chbg.sourceforge.net) for more info

cron is probably the best choice

crontab -e
0 0-23 * * * fbsetbg -r /path/to/walls

That will change it every hour
