Here is my current setup in cron:

0,30 * * * * wget http://weather.srh.noaa.gov/radar/images/rad_us.gif -O  
    /home/lance/weather/rad_us.gif
2,32 * * * * wmsetbg -display :0.0 -e ~/weather/rad_us.gif -w 2

Seems like this should update but it doesn't.  How would I use imagemagick
to update the image?
