Feature Request: Create symlink to last motion.avi movie

Description

- We have a very usefull lastsnap.jpg simlink, but what about lastmovie.avi simlink ???... - In a web page we can post a link with last picture (static jpg snapshot taken at every 30 min. for example) and a link with last movie (dynamic avi motion generated movie with ffmpeg), not with live stream like here : http://www.lavrsen.dk/webcam/cam1/movecam.php

You can do this without adding any change in motion code , in motion.conf :

on_movie_end /tmp/create_video_link.sh %f

create_video_link.sh

 
#!/bin/bash
VIDEO=$1
echo "Last video $VIDEO"
rm -rf /tmp/last_video.avi
ln -s $VIDEO /tmp/last_video.avi

chmod +x /tmp/create_video_link.sh
