Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello, I am completely new to ImageMagick. I am trying to use "convert" ImageMagick from a batch script to run across multiple servers that do not have ImageMagick installed. End purpose is to have IM manipulate a JPG file with server name and correct network environment and then set it as the standard wallpaper / logon background for all users. The only way I can get it to work is to actually install the ImageMagick executable onto each server. With hundreds of servers this is impracticle. And we don't want to have ImageMagick installed onto each server for security purposes. How can I use ImageMagick in this fashion without installing onto each server?

Thanks from the IMMnewbie

Not quite certain what you want from us.

The software will need to be installed to be used. Usally that is done as a package, either as a old package form offical repositories for your machine, or as build package that is distributed and installed.

RPM packages are automatically build and provided on the Im web site.

If you are using a RPM package managed system, the details on creating the latest version from sources specific for your machine is given on
