You can install imagemagick. It has several tools for the job, ranging from resizing to converting between formats. The one you are looking is a tool called mogrify. <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Virtual Private server that, through a script, gets a number of photos placed on it. &nbsp;The script pulls the photos from an email attachment.<br />
<br />
Recently, the size of the photos has increased dramatically, from 250k each to over 800K each. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I would like to know if there is a linux command line that I could use (via cron pref.) to look in the directory and resize all photos over 450k to a lesser quality (10 to 8) or even a smaller size (1050x1500 to 400x1000)??<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Resize photos in a directory

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
