[Bash] Hopelessly Overengineered Wallpaper Randomizer - crshd - 16-09-2013
Introduction
============
After I downloaded all of Simple Desktop's wallpapers, I needed something to switch them. I wanted to have a random slideshow, but with the ability to stop it at any given point, so a simple _while true; do feh; sleep; done_ loop just doesn't cut it. So I whipped up a little script, which I can call with a cronjob. And I can use it to stop the slideshow. And restart it. _(Note: the script doesn't actually do any slideshow. It needs to be called periodically)_
**TL;DR:** Set random wallpaper. Start/stop slideshow.
## Usage
Options:
-d Set wallpaper directory. Default: ~/usr/image/simpledesktops
-l Lock rotation
-u Unlock rotation
-h Display this help
## Dependencies
