what language to use?

Hello,

I want to create an application that will save a hub cam picture from a website every X mins and store it on the hard drive. I am not sure what language to use. I want to have some buttons and boxes where to type the url and the directory, etc.
Any ideas will be appreciated, and sorry if I posted on the wrong forum.....

Thanks,
Max

Almost any server-side application development language can accomplish this task. PHP, Perl, Python, Java, ... whatever you're most comfortable/familiar with should be fine.

You could use cron and wget, if you're using Linux. One line at the command line.
