sneaky

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:

1. Download sneaky.sh or clone this repository.
2. Open your terminal and run $ chmod +x /path/to/sneaky.sh to make it executable.
3. Run $ ./sneaky.sh to 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.
