Sure. "display" is the GUI component of ImageMagick; there are also a 
bunch
of command-line components. "convert" will convert between different 
image formats:

    for i in *.bmp ; do convert $i `basename $8 .bmp`.jpg ; done

or, if you're using a csh-flavored shell:

    foreach i ( *.bmp )
        convert $i `basename $i .bmp`.jpg
    end
