How to get notified when screenshots are taken?
Hi,
I use third-party softwares but like to get notified when screenshots, if any, are taken.
Any hints on how to achieve it?
Thanks,
Riku

Did you consider writing a wrapper script around the software?

Also, try using a clipboard manager. Some support an action to notify when the contents of the clipboard have changed. Some are listed here: 10 Best Clipboard Managers for Linux

No, I did not. It's for softwares which are not supposed to take screenshots.

That's an idea. I will dig in this direction.

Thank you both for your answers.

Not all screenshots end in the clipboard.


Finally, I ended up installing auditd. Perfect for what I need.
