Here's a very nice example, which is generated by Virtual Weather Station.

You need to have parameterlist.txt in htmlgen.conf. Code: #!/bin/sh # script to make wview readings available to scripts. # works by pasting together before and after versions of parameterlist  # readings are referenced by their wview names e.g. outdoorTemp becomes $outdoorTemp WVIMG=/var/wview/img WVHTML=/etc/wview/html # line for yearly rain line is non-standard, so standardise it... sed -e 's/    \/\/ yearly rain//' ${WVHTML}/parameterlist.txt > /tmp/param1.txt sed -e 's/    \/\/ yearly rain//' ${WVIMG}/parameterlist.htm > /tmp/param2.txt # paste together before and after.. paste -d==\" /tmp/param1.txt /tmp/param2.txt |  sed -e 's/^<!--//g' -e 's/-->=/=\"/g' -e 's/$/"/' -e 's/^="$//g' > /tmp/param.txt # source the file we've just created . /tmp/param.txt # the readings are now available, do something with them. convert -size 300x100 xc:skyblue \ -annotate 0x0+5+15 "${stationState}, ${stationCity} weather" \ -annotate 0x0+5+30 "Outside temperature: ${outsideTemp} ${tempUnit}" \ -annotate 0x0+5+45 "High temp: ${hiOutsideTemp}${tempUnit} at ${hiOutsideTempTime}" \ -annotate 0x0+5+60 "Barometer: ${barometer}" \ -annotate 0x0+5+90 "Time: ${stationTime} ${stationDate}" \  ${WVIMG}/current.gif Back to top loonsailor Joined: 05 Feb 2006 Posts: 15 Posted: Sun Jul 23, 2006 9:24 am    Post subject: Thanks! I wasn't familiar with ImageMagick, but this plus one or two of the existinng graphics should do the job. Do you just execute this script from a cron entry?

There is a copy of parameterlist.txt in /etc/wview/html, but just putting it there doesn't seem to be enough to generate the html file.

In your thread about ftp problems I mentioned that I use a script at /usr/bin/ftp to do my upload. Part of the same script also does various image manipulation things just before the upload. If I didn't use that method then yes, I'd probably use cron.
