Why is this Bash script not working?

bake_betty

I wrote a small Bash script so that the image in the folder becomes the wallpaper: for f in *.jpg do gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:$f The error is: ./wall.sh: line 6: syntax error: unexpected end of file Is my code wrong? And is there a way to set wallpapers from the Internet using a Bash script?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You need to end it with a "done", like: for f in *.jpg do gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:$f" done But I think the best way to do it is like this: for f in /path/to/dir/*.jpg do gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$f" done Okay, I edited the second code. Try with this. If you want to get random wallpapers from the Internet, you can execute this code: #!/bin/bash while true do img=http://www.wallpaperup.com/wallpapers/download/$RANDOM/1920/1080 wget -O /tmp/1080.jpg $img gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///tmp/1080.jpg" sleep 60 done This script will change the wallpaper every 60 seconds.
