What program is "import" in I don't seem to have that on my system and
tried a apt-get install import on testing and it was not there then I
looked for it on freshmeat and could not find it.
Thanks

I use import.
import -window root filename.png
It automatically saves in the format specified in the filename
extension. png, jpg etc.
To wait before a capture go...
sleep 5; import -window root filename.png
I just mention it because knowing things on the command line will come
in useful one day. (like capturing a screen remotely).
I wrote the attached script years ago to do the same thing, but to name
the shot according to the date and time, as well as increment the
filename if a similarly-named shot exists.
