Has a mode to interactively choose the window you want to capture (-s), too. I've got it hooked up to a bash function:
# Add '-s' to interactively set the window to be captured.
screenie() {
local curdir=$(pwd)
local shotname=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M).png
echo "5 seconds! Go go go!"
cd ~/img/screens/comp/
scrot -d 5 -q 70 "$shotname" ${@}
echo "Screen taken! Find it under ~/img/screens/comp."
cd $curdir
}
(now that I'm looking at it, it could use a spruce up to use pushd/popd
instead of storing the starting dir in a variable...)
