echo "Start time :"
date

target_name=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')
folderroot=/mnt/scans
folder=$folderroot/$(date +%Y/%m/%d)
fullpath=$folder/$target_name.ppm
finalpath=$folder/$target_name.png
scanimage_options="--mode color --resolution 150"
mkdir -p $folder
echo "Scanning..."
scanimage $scanimage_options > $fullpath

cd $folder
echo "Conversion of $fullpath to png"
convert -quality 100 "$fullpath" "$finalpath"
rm "$fullpath"
