Website screenshoot trought a command line ?

[Manu Linux Lookit]

Hi,

i know my question is a little strange, but i'd like to know if i can do
 a screenshot of a web site trought a command line like if i open
firefox and press the "print screen" and put it in a jpg file ?

In fact i'd like to do it automatically an put it in a crontab.

tks for your answers even if my question is strange :o)

Regards
Manu

Hi,

use the command "import" which is part of the ImageMagick package.

Is this for some covert operation? Why would someone want to
periodically screenshot their desktop??

This is very useful when I want to screenshot a Nested menu-bar/item.
