A tiny little bash script for personal use to automatically take screenshots repeatedly.
Requirements:
To run, sneaky.sh needs for gnome-screenshot to be installed. This can be done as follows,
Arch Linux based distros: sudo pacman -Sy gnome-screenshot.
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gnome-screenshot.
By default,
- initial sleep time in seconds = 90
- number of screenshots = 100
- delay between shots in seconds = 60
How to run:
- Download
sneaky.shor clone this repository. - Open your terminal and run
$ chmod +x /path/to/sneaky.shto make it executable. - Run
$ ./sneaky.shto use default values
Optional arguments
| short | long | type |
|---|---|---|
| -s | --initial-sleep-seconds | integer |
| -n | --number-of-shots | integer |
| -d | --delay-between-shots | integer |
| -w | --active-window-only | boolean flag |
Examples To take 10 screenshots (one per minute) of the active window after waiting 90 seconds run:
./sneaky.sh -n 10 -w
To take 10 screenshots (one every 30 seconds) after waiting two minutes run:
.sneaky.sh -n 10 -d 30 -s 120
Note that if there is no -w flag and there are multiple screens, the screenshot will include
all screens.
