Arrow Shell script to resize image
I've got a directory full of images that are displayed on the web. I upload them directly using FTP.

Using the ImageMagick command "convert", I can resize the uploaded images quickly and easily. However, as I'm not the only one uploading images to this directory, I would like to automate the process.

Is there a way to make a shell script to run the "convert" command whenever a new image is uploaded to a specific directory?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Some versions of ftp support the site exec command or the !mycommand.

There is a tutorial with examples of advanced scripting for ftp in the FAQ at www.unix.com - try there.
