How to trigger shell/script after a snapshot is taken?

Within the Motion (Motion-project) (https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion) configuration/process.

Is there a way to trigger a shell/script after a snapshot is taken?

Thank you

Solution

  • You have to edit your motion.conf :

    #Command to be executed when a picture (.ppm|.jpg) is saved (default: none) #To give the filename as an argument to a command append it with %f ; on_picture_save value

    Remove ; before "on_picture_save" and edit your value with a shell command to execute your script.
