# Takepix shell script and Systemd Timer ## Intro Takepix is a systemd-driven script that takes photos periodically, under the control of a systemd timer. The script runs on a *raspberry pi* with an attached camera module. The Operating System that I use for raspberry pi is [Linux Arch ARM edition](https://archlinuxarm.org). To take the photos from the camera-equipped raspi, I use another raspi on the same LAN, which is running another service-based script, [getpix](/f3rr3t/getpix).: ## Files File name | Purpose / functions ----------|-------------------- takepix.timer|A simple timer that calls takepix.service periodically takepix.service| Systemd service definition that is called by the Timer rakepix.sh|A shell script that takes trhe photo and performs quality checks
