One of the things I have struggled with is the freshness of the pictures and the slides on my Digital or Laptop Picture Frame. I realized after a while that you really need to restart the feh application once a day. It makes things a little neater or cleaner, I think.
Here is a little change I use to restart feh every night at 3:05 am. I figure it is a good time, since if I see it happen, I should go to bed.
I edited cron as the flickrframe user.
crontab -e
# m h dom mon
dow command
5 3 * * * killall feh
6 3 * * * export DISPLAY=:0.0 && /usr/bin/feh hide-pointer -qrzZFD 10
/home/flickrframe/images
Ctrl –x, then y to save.
The first line says:
@3:05 every day, kill all programs running called feh.
The second line says:
@3:06 everyday, export the following command to the xwindows display, feh….. etc…
NOTE:
The paths are relative to MY pictureframe. If your paths are different, adjust accordingly.
As always, if you have any questions, give me a shout, I will help however I can.
