#!/bin/bash while [ 1 ]; do xwd -root | convert - scrndmp.`date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"`.jpg sleep 5 done Or is using a utility as old as "xwd" -- available on any UNIX/Linux system I've ever used going back years (heck... long enough I think one could say "decades" at this point) -- not considered cool enough any more? (I don't even have a utility called "scrot" on my system. What's with all the Ubuntu-only utilities any way? |

Quoting:(I don't even have a utility called "scrot" on my system. What's with all the Ubuntu-only utilities any way? scrot is hardly "Ubuntu-only". It is available in Mageia, PCLinuxOS, Debian, and probably many more. |

The headline doesn't say "Take Screenshots in X11". Remember, Ubuntu is Linux! |

Quoting:``... available in Mageia, PCLinuxOS, Debian, and probably many more.'' Ah... seems to have roots in Mandrake/Mandriva then. I have never encountered it on any of the SuSE/OpenSuSE-related package sites or even on Packman though there is a utility called "shutter" (if memory serves) that claims to be "scrot"-like. Still seems like another case of re-inventing the wheel (IMHO). (We should keep this quiet lest someone start shouting about Linux distribution incompatibilities.) |
