Go to where you want to save this script:
$ cd /home/usernamehere/projects
Clone this repo (or just download the zip file):
$ git clone 'https://github.com/azimut/daily-pic'
Add the following crontab as root or using sudo (if you are using vixie-cron or if you know how to configure cron you might try to add this as user instead of root):
# crontab -e
0 */1 * * * su - usernamehere -c 'cd /home/usernamehere/projects/daily-pic; bash do.sh -a &>> pics/log.txt'
- Get more sources: daily random code of the day? (github/gist) daily webcam image of the day/hour?
- Add some kind of heuristic to determine what is the best fit for a wallpaper (what feh option use) based on the resolution of the current monitor.
