Try 

tifftopnm - to convert your tiffs to .pnm files
pnmscale  - to resize as you like
pnmtotiff - to convert back to .tif (better yet pnmtopng) :-)

===========================================================================
Here are some examples, then I put it all into one step at the end. 
Be aware that I have not tested any of this - it may need some tweaking...

CONVERT TIF to PNM
for f in *.tif; do tifftopnm $f > `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.pnm; done

THUMBNAIL
for f in *.tif; do tifftopnm $f > `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.pnm; done

CONVERT PNM to TIF
for f in *.ppm; do pnmtotiff -none $f > `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.tif; done

CONVERT PNM to PNG (May I suggest the PNG file format)
for f in *.ppm; do pnmtopng -none $f > `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.png; done

===========================================================================
DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE!

for f in *.tif; do 
    tifftopnm $f | 
    pnmscale -width 115 -height 150 | 
    pnmtopng > `ls $f | 
    cut -f 1 -d "."`.png; 
done

You may have to consult the man pages and make some decisions about
aspect ratio but this should point you in a useful direction.
Also, check out the many pnm* and ppm* for lots of good stuff. 

Hope this helps,

   Hi,
   I have over 1800 images that need to be processed. In short, these images
   are in TIFF format, I want to open them, resize them, from 2048X2668 
   pixels to 115X150 and save (same filename different extension) them as a
   medium quality JPEG thumbnail. I would prefer to somehow create a script
   so I can let the computer process the images automatically.  I have been
   playing around with the script-fu tool but can't seem to get a script to
   do what I want. I am completely new to gimp scripting and the whole
   "scheme of things" (any bowie fans out there =).  Maybe the perl-fu is
   what I need?  All the images are on CDs.

   thanks for any help you can offer, chao
   steve
