Saving Screen Image

[Ian Young]

HI,

I know next to nothing about LynxOS! We have a laser drilling machine
that uses it (version 4) and we need to be able to take a screen shot,
in the graphical front end of the software. When the software is
running no OS menus appear to be available. I can open a shell and
that's about it. Is this possible? If so how?

Thanks in advance.

It depends rather heavily on how the system vendor implemented
their graphical front end. If they used the X Window System,
then from the shell there might be a program "xwd" available.
There are various other X11 screen capture programs out there,
but they'd probably require building unless the OEM included
them in the system.

Another common choice is that the window manager provides
such functionality. There might be some magic combination of
keyboard and/or mouse activity that would do that.

Last, it's possible that they're using some graphics package
that isn't X11-related at all, in which case all of the above
is moot.

I'd suggest contacting the OEM and asking them.

And perhaps a digital camera is in order. :)
