Bing Wallpaper for Mac

Information

A script which downloads the latest picture of the day from Bing.com and saves it to a directory.

The script was tested on: Mac OS X 10.8.5

How to use?

• Just run the HazisBingDesktop.sh script from the terminal. The script will download the bing image.
• If desired, change the default PICTURE_DIR in HazisBingDesktop.sh to the wallpaper directory. If left unchanged the default value is ~/Pictures/bing-wallpapers/.

Configuration on Mac

• To have the script run everyday automatically you will need to setup launchd . I have provided a sample plist file the Tools directory, which can be copied to $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents and loaded with the command launchctl load $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.gmtsui.hazi.bing-wallpaper.plist Modify the plist as needed to point to HazisBingDesktop.sh. For more information on configuring launchd see here.
