first of all, i don’t know if this is the proper section for this post. sry if i’m wrong. well, i need some help with something. I need a bash script that auto captures the screen (every 30 sec) and then realise an archive with those screenshots. The script will allow me to quering by user name and date and time framing and if exists a capture archive, it will display a slideshow that presents the captures of specified time. I rly don’t know if that is possible…but i rly need some help here.
Hi
Install scrot, you could then use a cron job to run have a look at the
man page for some of the command line options. You could then run
another cronjob to tar the files up every so often.

Welcome to the forums!
It might not be needed for this problem, but in general it is usfull to state which level of openSUSEE you have. Often one also needs to tell which desktop environment you use (KDE, Gnome, …). This will help people who try to help you, but who have no crystal balls.
Then I assume you search for a solution to something you want to happen. I do not know why you decided to ask for a script. As malcolmlewes shows above, there is more then scripts in the Linux world.
