Script to download and set a random wallpaper in Nautilus

jorge — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 12:56:27 +0000

This snippet downloads a random image from the wonderful InterfaceLIFT; it should work when called from cron. From command line works reliably. Note that the 'wget' command is all one line.

templog=$(tempfile) || exit
