Wallpaper changer code

[rjm65]

This is the question I asked over on linux mint forum that they never replied too...
Would be so nice if they had a script for cinnamon like peppermint has....

Actually you can remove the "NUMBER" line from that script .. it's unnecessary.

It only needs to read:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
## Auto Wallpaper Changer
n=10
while [ $n -le 10 ]
do
sleep 30m &&
pcmanfm -w "$(find /home/YOUR_USERNAME/Pictures -type f | shuf -n1)"
done

Thanks!! I'm doing my jazz radio show at the moment but I had another question. Because I use Gnome-Schedule, how would I call the script using GS?

[PCNetSpec]

I don't know anything about gnome-schedule

But my guess would be either

a) you'd remove the "while loop" and "sleep" from the script, then get gnome-schedule to run the script on you chosen schedule.

or

b) remove the script altogether, and just get gnome schedule to run:

Code: [Select]

pcmanfm -w "$(find /home/YOUR_USERNAME/Pictures -type f | shuf -n1)"on your chosen schedule

Thanks for the one line solution. I will try it out. This is what I was looking for. So simple. I'll post back if this works or not. Thanks again!!!!!
