[svlug] Screen Shots

[Felipe Leme]

I normally use the command xwd. Actually, as I always forget the name of 
the command, I created a wrapper for it, called screenshot :)


#!/bin/bash
#
# screenshot: takes a screenshot of a window to a file

PROGNAME=`echo $0 | sed 's#^.*/##'`

if [ $# != 1 ]
then
   echo "Usage: ${PROGNAME} <file>.gif
   exit -1
fi
FILE=$1.gif
echo "Select the screen and click the mouse...."
xwd -out ${FILE}
