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.
