path to image magick?

2001-08-12 Thread Jason Truman
Hello everyone, I'm new to the list and I'm starting off with a quick 
question.


My web host (www.f2s.com) runs Debian Linux as their main operating system.  
It is my understanding that image magick is included as one of the graphics 
packages.  I'd like to be able to use image magick because I have a photo 
gallery on my site which utilizes thumbnails.  I figure I could use the 
convert utility within image magick to do some automatic thumbnail 
generation.  My problem is, I have no clue as to what the path to image 
magick is...  I'm assuming there is a default path, and I was wondering if 
anyone could enlighten me as to what that default path might be?


Thanks in advance for any help/advice that can be offered. :)

$ which convert
/usr/bin/convert

...does your ISP have package imagemagick installed?

$ dpkg -s imagemagick

...which can be run as an unprivileged user.

Cheers.
