Recipe for timelapse with Raspberry Pi camera
There are some great tutorials/code snippets for this:
https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-wearable-time-lapse-camera/software
https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/timelapse-setup
Here's my take on it timelapse.sh. It is extremely minimalistic.
In this case it's taking advantage of RPi-WebCam to signal taking a picture.
Without RPI-WebCam it could call the raspistill program. RPI-WebCam conveniently handles file naming, otherwise we'd have had to handle it ourselves.
Ooohhhh exciting!

Also great because it might be runnable simultaneously with rpi cam? Which otherwise would be impossible as only one program can use the cam at a time? Is this correct?
Thanks!

Yes, correct, with this approach it can work in tandem with the RPi Webcam software.
