Automated Image Processing (Scripting)

I have a directory of several thousand photos, which are in both portrait and landscape mode. Is it possible to create a shell script that will go through the directory, find out which ones are wider than they are tall (landscape), and then create a soft link for those images in another directory so I can look through them using Feh?

Thanks!

I think imagemagick will do that for you via a script. Read this: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/photos/

From what I can see, I should be able to use the -format option with ImageMagick's Identify command to get what I need. Thanks for the link!!
