How to take a screenshot every n second?
- by Seppo Erviälä
What software can I use to take screenshots with a set interval? I'd like to take screenshots every 2 second or so. Command-line and GUI are both ok.
I'd prefer software that can also resize and compress each screenshot.
EDIT:
What I realized I really wanted to do was take a screenshot and a picture with webcam at the same time. I ended up doing some python:
import threading
import os
def capture(i):
i += 1
threading.Timer(2.0, printit, [i]).start()
fill = str(i).zfill(5)
os.system("scrot scrot-%s.jpg" % fill)
os.system("streamer -o streamer-%s.jpeg -s 320x240 -j 100" % fill)
capture(0)
