Hi, Im trying to write a small application wich observe a room in my house. My resources: - USB Webcam - Ubuntu Netbook Remix
Is it possible to take a snapshot in the command shell? I tried this command: --------------------- xawtv -o, -outfile base --------------------- to take a actual snapshot of the room. But i get this error: --------------------- xdpyinfo: unable to open display "". This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.31-22-generic) Error: Can't open display: --------------------- (I'm root) If i start xawtv in the gui, it works fine. So my target is, that i call a homepage in my network that returns me the actual image of the room. Finally i only need the shell script (that takes the actual snapshot) to complete my work :D Can you please help me? Thank you very much
