I use this script which someone off the list gave me to do screenshots. It works fine for taking pictures of the menus etc, but be warned that last time I ran it when a video was playing the machine locked up and had to be rebooted - I don't know if that was a coincidence or not. Also, it seems to only be runnable as root. #!/bin/bash # # Script : screenshot.sh # # When you've got the X Window you want to screenshot press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and # log on to a console window and then run this file. It will produce a # screenshot in /tmp. # # NB - script (chvt 7) assumes that X is running on VT7. # # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- chvt 7 ; sleep 5 ; XAUTHORITY=/var/gdm/:0.Xauth DISPLAY=:0.0 import -window root /tmp/screenshot-$$.png Regards, Phill _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
