I had the same notion last weekend. Here's how I solved the problem: 1. Find or (in my case) make an image->ascii conversion program. 2. (in my case) Find or make a webcam program that will grab an image and save that image to a file. 3. Setup a crontab job to first take the picture, then run the converstion, then upload the file to a server. I ended up using Windows because I couldn't find Linux drivers for my webcam. -Tom "[Wolog]" <oli...@guerrier.com.pasdespam.invalid> wrote in message news:3f09f825$0$5281$626...@news.free.fr... > Hello, > > I am looking for a command line utility to convert a webcam picture to > ascii text under linux.
