Why not use the '-source' option from lynx to dump the html of the current directory? shell$ lynx -source . > index.html You could use find to recursively create index files: shell$ for d in `find . -type d`; do > pushd $d > lynx -source . > index.html > popd > done I use a photo albumn creator called curator. It's a python program that creates thumbnails, indexes, and custom HTML pages. Very cool. It can be run on a batch basis, so that you don't have to screw around with CGI scripts and the like. You get static HTML output, which is usually good enough for most photo albumns. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
