screen print automically?

[kr651129]

Kind of an odd question here. If I wanted to set up a screen print on my machine to capture once a second for 60 seconds and auto save the captures to my desktop how would I go about doing this? I'm trying to find a completely automated solution.

I use graphics/scrot. You can write a simple bash loop that sleeps for a second then takes a screenshot (untested):

for x in `seq 1 60`; do
    scrot screenshot-$x.png
    sleep 1
done

I have only used this on Linux, so YMMV.

For console, try # vidcontrol -P < /dev/ttyv0.
