Re: [foxboro] Print screens

May I suggest a basic solution, using only Solaris internal programs?
Xvd and convert are standard programs available since Solaris 2.5.

Under DM left menu, new PSC items can be invoked. 
It creates in /tmp a generic xwd file that is converted into a bmp file. 
This bmp file has timestamp in the name and can exported.
Pls remember to move files (not only copy) when ftp'ed to Windoze.

1) create the file "PSC" in /usr/fox/sys, with the following statements:
        dmcmd script
        dmcmd wp_applic /usr/openwin/bin/xwd -display $DM_DISPLAY -root -nobdrs 
-out /tmp/dumpfile.xwd
        dmcmd wp_applic /usr/prog/PSC.sh &

2) create the PSC.sh script in /usr/prog, with the following statements:
        #!/bin/sh
        /opt/windu/bin/convert /tmp/dumpfile.xwd /tmp/`date '+%d%h%H%M'`dump.bmp

Enjoy it.

This is what I love about this list. Even if your problem is somewhat esoteric, 
if you ask the question and explain clearly what you want, somebody, somewhere, 
at some point has run across the same problem, and may have solved it and, 
tada, a ready answer for you.

Good job, Jeremy. (Not that this was a surprise or anything like that.) Now, 
can I suggest a wiki entry? ;-)

you can do this with the 'import' utility that is a part of the
'imagemagick' suite available at sunfreeware.com.

the command line would be something like this:

import -display $display -window root $name.png

where $display is the unix display number so for the fist head would
be '0:0' and $name would need to be something unique (probably a
timestamp) the extension sets the image type (here I was doing PNG)

I have used this utility to make screenshots of all my graphics by
running a script to call them up in a loop and then saving them to a
PNG. I think something similiar could work for your application, it
would just require you to load the imagemagick package on the box.
