command line image capture on fedora 11
i mean command line WEBCAM image capture. sorry fo rleaving webcam out of the title... how do i edit that?
anyways...

imagemagick, ffmpeg are installed.
cheese works fine. webcam is there. i can take movies and photos.

i would like to take command line snapshots from the camera. how do i do this?

my google skills failed me on this one. this must be easy?

i found a few references to programs (mostly gui) or automated in some way that do security type monitoring.
this is fine and all but i would really just like an equivalent to 'import' for the webcam.

any tips?

thanks,
dan

       them with others. After the success of the Summer of Code, the development continued and we are still looking for people with nice ideas
       and patches ;)
