automated script/ftp/screenshot

[z0mbix]

I wondering how easy it would be to set up a script that can take a screenshot, say once a week and automatically upload this to my ftp server naming it the same thing each time therefore overwriting the old screenshot each time.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Should be easy (although I've never done it). Somebody posted a commandline for taking a screenshot the other day, and the you would need to upload it to the ftp server, but i don't think that should be too difficult to get a script to emulate your command line entries. Put it all in a script and use cron to run it.

Simple. :cool:

Look into making a cron job that uses the import command.
you can probably send the picture to the ftp server using wget, although I've never used wget, so I don't really know.

I thought cron/import/wget might be my answer. Just wanted to run it by a few people. I'll have a go at this later. Thks :)
