[Koha-devel] cron job for loading pictures or better option

[David Schuster]

I also see this line in the .pl file

##example -- >   perl loadimages.pl -i IDLINK.txt -l image.log -d
"/home/pisd/dataload/pics/"

so if there was a way to link the the sharefile and not actually scp the
files over that would be way cool.
