Got a way to minimize the desktop from the CLI in KDE..
| Quote: | | dcop kicker $(dcop kicker qt objects | grep ShowDesktop | head -n 1 | sed "s#(# #g" | awk '{ print $1; }') toggle |
Thanks to the guys in the KDE-Forums

| Surely you don't want to minimise everything, because then you'll just end up with a buch of shots of your backdrop. They'll all be the same. Seeing the different windows are what makes it interesting. |

Actually that was what I was after..
It doesn't minimize thing that you make sticky (like GKRellm2 for instance)
I don't want non sticky stuff being screen shotted.. I might have been looking at fat Germans in funny clothes..

I think gnome uses xscreensaver, so it already is comprehensive
to the OP: perhaps rename the thread now, to make the search easier on those who might want to do the same |

Okies... I made progress.. 
Now to learn how to cron job stuff 
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#this is for xscreensaver - dont know what to do if you're using kde or something else
xscreensaver-command --deactivate
#simple enough
sleep 4
#minimize the screen
dcop kicker $(dcop kicker qt objects | grep ShowDesktop | head -n 1 | sed "s#(# #g" | awk '{ print $1; }') toggle
#or somewhere better to put it
import -window root -quality 90 /home/senectus/screenshots/screenshot.png
#bring it all back..
dcop kicker $(dcop kicker qt objects | grep ShowDesktop | head -n 1 | sed "s#(# #g" | awk '{ print $1; }') toggle
#highly compress png for politeness to dialup users
optipng -o5 /home/senectus/screenshots/screenshot.png
#totally unsecure ftp bit :-P
ftp -pn your.upload.site.com.au <<END_SCRIPT
user Yourusername Yourpassword
binary
cd /screenshot
send screenshot.png
bye
END_SCRIPT
exit 0 |

cron is very easy: crontab -e
the man crontab gives quite a few examples.. You wanted to run the script every day at 3 am?
* 3 * * * /<path to script>/<scriptname>
done..
crontab -e works with vim as editor..

This has been fun I might try and make it a bit neater.. and include commands for other desktops (Gnome, *box etc)... Thanks for your help guys

An alternative way :
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
POSPAR1="$adress"
POSPAR2="$user"
POSPAR3="$pass"
#this is for xscreensaver - dont know what to do if you're using kde or something else
xscreensaver-command --deactivate
#simple enough
sleep 4
#minimize the screen
dcop kicker $(dcop kicker qt objects | grep ShowDesktop | head -n 1 | sed "s#(# #g" | awk '{ print $1; }') toggle
#or somewhere better to put it
#Look at the variable HOME, this script can now be used by any user
import -window root -quality 90 $HOME/screenshots/screenshot.png
#bring it all back..
dcop kicker $(dcop kicker qt objects | grep ShowDesktop | head -n 1 | sed "s#(# #g" | awk '{ print $1; }') toggle
#highly compress png for politeness to dialup users
optipng -o5 $HOME/screenshots/screenshot.png
#totally unsecure ftp bit :-P
ftp -pn $adress
user $user $pass
binary
cd /screenshot
send screenshot.png
bye
END_SCRIPT
exit 0
|
I'm not a scripter, So it can contain some errors..
You can now start the program as this:
| Quote: |
./program.sh YouAdress YourUser YourPass
|
You have no password in clear text in your script
If you want to use crontab:
Hourly:
0 * * * * /anywere/yourscript.sh YourAdress YourUser YourPassword
daily:
0 3 * * * /anywere/yourscript.sh YourAdress YourUser YourPassword
etc...
Get a look to the $HOME Variable, now your program can be used by anyone
No one will think to check you crontab
