Yes it's a screen capture script.
Am I setting DISPLAY properly?
As Morrie said, there's a lot more to it than just setting the DISPLAY variable. This doesn't seem like a good task for cron. IMO you'd be better off with screen recording software - that's precisely the job they're designed for. I don't use any myself, never needed/wanted to, so can't recommend any but these web pages list several: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1229 http://hackerspace.kinja.com/screen-recording-in-linux-1686055808 http://www.tecmint.com/best-linux-screen-recorders-for-desktop-screen-record... http://askubuntu.com/questions/4428/how-to-record-my-screen All these and more were found with a quick google search: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=linux+software+to+record+desktop+session craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
