Okay, I'm finished with the perl script now. It basically lets you create a number of maps with dommap, prettifies them with the Gimp script, zips up the maps in individual zip-files, generates thumbnails and builds a (very basic) web-page where the maps can be downloaded from. (The web-page thing can be turned off)

Wow, you are good. Sounds like what I have running (minus the gimp part) but you got there alot faster than I did. I will definetly take a look at it.

Unfortunately it still wont quite fill my needs because Im hard-headed and dont load GUIs on my servers. Everything I do with the maps so far uses no console display.

I came across something here http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat17/ about using virtual frame-buffers to allow Gimp to do batch processing from a text console. As far as I understand, you'd have to install X Window on the machine to get the frame-buffer, but you wouldn't have to actually start X Window as such.

Would that help you?

I've posted a link to Leif's page on my site so that it may be easily found in the future (no forum searching needed).

Great job!

Actually, I think the maps look reasonable now - they certainly don't have the polished look of hand-drawn maps, but they seem good enough.

Looked great. Nice example of running a batch. But their Xvfb thing didnt work either.
Thanks though

Gonna take over running batches Phil?
Want a copy of my script for making this page?
