I dont know how to reset the brightness during the call.

here is my script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

if [  "$1" ==  "--help" ] ; then
        echo "Please do a quick less command"
        echo "of the script"
        exit 0
        exit -1
fi


if [  "$1" ==  "-l" ] ; then
        cat /sys/module/gspca/parameters/gamma
        cat /sys/module/gspca/parameters/GRed
        cat /sys/module/gspca/parameters/GGreen
        cat /sys/module/gspca/parameters/GBlue
fi

if [  "$1" ==  "-c" ] ; then
        echo $2 >  /sys/module/gspca/parameters/gamma
        echo $3 > /sys/module/gspca/parameters/GRed
        echo $4 >  /sys/module/gspca/parameters/GGreen
        echo $5 >  /sys/module/gspca/parameters/GBlue
fi
Even when fully dark image, it does:
Code:
         sh /root/webcam.sh -l

256
