Taking Screenshots in Unix
Hello,
I am trying to take screenshots of various windows and dialog boxes in Unix. I am primarily a Windows user and am wondering if Unix has the capability of taking screenshots similar to using "Print Screen" and "Alt+Print Screen" in Windows? If not, then could anyone please suggest a method of taking screenshots?

Thank you.

If you are connecting via a telnet (or equivalent) session from Windows then you could use the print screen as you state. If you're doing a lot of it for professional purposes (i.e. training), a product called "TurboDemo" is superb for capturing screens in real-time.

Oh yeah, I forgot, you can also "tee" standard output to a file to capture screen output as well as displaying it to the monitor. If the permissions on your system are set really insecurely, you can also capture the input and output from somebody else's tty session and log that... sorry mispent youth!

Thank you for the information. I'll look into the program.
