I use imagemagick. The command is something like

mogrify -resize 600 *

This will convert the existing images (mogrify) by resizing them to 600px
wide. To specify reducing to a particular height it's something like

mogrify -resize x400 *

To resize them to a particular shape it's something like

mogrify -resize 600x400 *

There's all sorts of other options with imagemagick (for instance to set
resolutions)

Hope this helps
