Taking screen shots in the background

/cvs/cds/project/statScreen/bin/captureScreen.sh takes a screen shot of an X application and saves the image to /cvs/cds/caltech/statScreen/images/.

This script does not require a physical display.

For MEDM screens, there is a wrapper script grabMEDMScreens.sh. It takes a list of *.adl files as an argument and capture the images of those screens.

A cron job runs on nodus calling the above scripts. The cron actually runs cronjob.sh, which calls grabMEDMScreens.sh with statScreen/etc/medmScreens.txt as the argument. This job will generate images in statScreen/images/.

To change/add MEDM screens to be captured, modify statScreen/etc/medmScreens.txt.

Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
