[Xastir] Xastir web interface?

[Dave H]

I took a quick look at this today and found it produces snapshot.xpm - I had
a think and decided it might be nice to CRON a conversion from xpm to gif
and then cron the gif by ftp to a website regularly.

However, being at work I didn't get much time to make it work -

I tried making the conversion using Imagemagicks 'convert' function

this worked nicely on command line literally just
(in /home/daveh/.xastir/tmp/)

# convert *.xpm *.gif

and a little while later the snapshot.gif appeared.

However using cron I couldn't make it work
(from memory I wrote a file with the following then crontab -r it into cron)
its meant to do the conversion every 15mins all the time.

0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/bin/convert  /home/daveh/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.xpm
/home/daveh/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.gif

and nothing appeared on the quarter hour - the cron was working ok..
(crontab -l to list it)

Anyone see dumbness in the above? I am using Ubuntu on a hidden pc at work
with user id g0cer-2  with internet only APRS access.

I must admit an actual web access port would be interesting for Xastir -
potentially a security danger I guess.
