I am looking for an app that will take an image from my built in laptop webcam and copy it to the hard drive every 5 minutes. Does such a thing exist? I want to write a program that will then take that image on my hard drive and upload it to my web page.

You might want to look at this (http://www.zoneminder.com/), it will save you programming anything.

Ah, well zoneminder is for security and cctv cameras right? This is just a cheap acer aspire one laptop that has a built in webcam.
I know in the ruby language it has an ssh class. It is very easy to call that and have it take a file and upload it how ever many times that it wants. I just got to get something to take a picture with the webcam every so often...

It was a piece of cake
I used uvccapture for the snapshots and ruby to upload it to the server: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1408
