vivaotux: Gnome-shell: change the wallpaper automatically

I have made again some research in order to find out, or remember, how change Gnome-shell wallpaper automatically and I get it.

	#!/bin/bash
	# source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10374520/gsettings-with-cron
	# TODO: At night only dark wallpapers.

	# to run this script automacticly you can do this: crontab -e
	# /5 * * * /home/user/bin/changewallpaper.sh

	# Tip: Don't forget create one blank line at bottom in crontab file

	# Wallpaper's directory.
	dir="${HOME}/Pictures/wallpapers/"

	# export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable
	PID=$(pgrep gnome-session)
	export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(grep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS /proc/$PID/environ\|cut -d= -f2-)

	# Random wallpaper.
	wallpaper=`find "${dir}" -type f \| shuf -n1`

	#Determines how the image set by wallpaper_filename is rendered. Possible values are "none", "wallpaper", "centered", "scaled", "stretched", "zoom", "spanned".

	#gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options "spanned"
	gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options "stretched"
	gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://${wallpaper}"
