# 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).:
