script to grab a pic - Linux Setup, Configuration & Administration

[Arron]

Anyone know a bit advanced script? I would like a script to grab a pic from
a open port for a webcam. The webcam hogs the cam to other apps, but
broadcasts it on a port to the net. if i open a browser to
http://server:port i get a pic of it (single frame). how would i go about
grabben it with a script?

Thanks

wget

see man page for details -- if you page down to the examples section,
you may find that helpful in getting started.
