Create an auto-updating desktop image
Authored by: calroth on Jul 15, '03 04:52:01AM

Change desktop picture without Finder restart - rather than using the Desktop preference pane, you can use AppleScript wrapped in a shell script to do the same task in a neater way.

This is also a near-duplicate of New auto-change desktop picture script.

So, with this tip, and the tip above about using cron to schedule updates, and the tip above about using sh instead of perl, we've completely replaced all parts of the hint on this page (and, in my opinion, made it much better).
