Yes, I have a script that Jon Stroop wrote to do something very similar: https://github.com/pulibrary/pulfa-sausage-factory/blob/master/bin/orient_image.sh <https://github.com/pulibrary/pulfa-sausage-factory/blob/master/bin/orient_image.sh>

The use case was a little different (orient the page each possible way and check which way was the correct orientation based on how many words were in the dictionary), but I think it should be easy to adapt to your  needs.
