Using wget to save sequential files as well as renaming the file extension
- by Ian
I run a cron job that requests a snapshot from a remote webcam at a local address:
wget http://user:[email protected]/snapshot.cgi
This creates the files snapshot.cgi, snapshot.cgi.1, snapshot.cgi.2, each time it's run.
My desired result would be for the file to be named similar to file.1.jpg, file.2.jpg. Basically, sequentially or date/time named files with the correct file extension instead of .cgi.
Any ideas?
