Hi,

I am using 10 linux machine which has ubuntu 10.04 LTS & fedora 10 installed. My problem is that I want to take automatic screenshot in every 10 minute & it'll store the screenshot to remote location that is not accessible by normal user.

Please share the details if anyone having..

Thanks,
Tasol

Hi Yooy,

Thanks for reply, but I already gone through this stuff, and I create one script that run via terminal fine but when I put it for cron it fails to run.

The script is like:

Quote:

#!/bin/bash
#import -window root -display Slacker:2 /home/nesman/public_html/screenshots/`date +%a%d%b%H%M`.jpg
i=0
DISPLAY=:0
export DISPLAY
HOME=/home/tasol
export HOME

while [ $i -lt 1 ]; do
#import -window root -geometry 1024x768 -display localhost:0 -silent /home/nesman/bin/screenshots/`date +%b%d%a%H%M`-$i.jpg
import -window root -geometry 1024x768 -silent /home/tasol/screenshots/`date +%b%d%a%H-%M`-$i.jpg

#sleep 5
i=$((i+1))
done

and I put one cron that runs every 10 min,

If you find better script regarding this problem, Please post it...
