Re: Getting a hook from shell mode to do motion detection?

Tried it again, I may have had the lens cover closed or not been in
manual mode the first time.  I do get one preview file.  I get a
confirmation request on over writing the preview file when I did it
from the command line. I was going to come up with a lock file or
semaphore arrangement and rename the previous preview file to avoid
that.

Reading UPDATE_REF 3600  // sec, -1 => never update reference (int)
Reading RESAMPLE 320     // width, -1 => no resample (int)
Reading THRESHOLD_BR 10  // brightness % change to trigger global movement (int)
Reading THRESHOLD_PX 10  // brightness % change to trigger pixel movement (int)
Reading MOVING_PIX_PER 5 // % of pixels with gray level change greater
than threshold to trigger local movement (int)
Reading FPS -2           // fps of live view, < 0 for <1 fps (-2 =>
0.5 fps) (int)
Reading NSHOTS 3         // number of shots to take after detecting
movement (int)
Reading MAX_SHOTS 1000   // maximum number of shots to take (int)
Reading EXTENSION .jpg   // extension in lowercase for the new relevant images
Reading RENAME true      // true to rename shots to 'shot_xxx.jpg',
false otherwise
Reading SERVER null      // server to uppload images
Reading USER null        // user login name
Reading PASSW null       // user password
Reading REMOTE_DIR null  // remote dir inside the server to store the
images (or null)
Reading MASK             // image mask to detect movement (- =>
masked, + => detect movement here). Any size, must be last element in
config file
