I used to use "snapshot" command to capture screen shots in the Linux Redhat environment. Is there the same or similar command with ubuntu 12.04 LTS?

  • There are many ways to take a screen shot from the command line. run `yum provides snapshot` to see which package provides that program in RHEL and we can see if it exists in Ubuntu and if not provide an alternate. – Panther Oct 04 '13 at 19:22
  • I wonder how redhat does let you take screenshots. Can you explain some more? – MadMike Oct 04 '13 at 19:34
  • @MadMike - That question is off topic here ;) Ask in a RHEL support forums or run `yum provides snapshot` – Panther Oct 04 '13 at 20:03

    @bodhi.zazen I am suggesting to be more precise about what he is trying to do in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I think this is relevant in this context. – MadMike Oct 04 '13 at 20:11

Try scrot. It's available from the Software Center.

It has many features, but if you just want to take a screenshot, invoke scrot and an image file will be saved in the current directory.
