Well, there are various tools which can convert HTML to practically anything, but they probably won’t do what you want. However, googling (you did google, didn’t you?) brought me there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/125951/command-line-program-to-create-website-screenshots-on-linux The script in the first answer[1] needs some more adjustments, for example, the s/firefox/iceweasel, the correct display option for iceweasel and import also probably needs an environment variable DISPLAY=:11 But apart from that, it should work :) Best regards & good luck, Claudius 1] For those too lazy to go there: #!/bin/sh # start a server with a specific DISPLAY vncserver :11 -geometry 1024x768 # start firefox in this vnc session firefox -display :11 # read URLs from a data file in a loop count=1 while read url do # send URL to the firefox session firefox -display :11 $url # take a picture after waiting a bit for the load to finish sleep 5 import -window root image$count.jpg done < url_list.txt # clean up when done vncserver -kill :11 -- Your wig steers the gig. -- Lord Buckley Please use GPG: ECB0C2C7 4A4C4046 446ADF86 C08112E5 D72CDBA4 http://chubig.net/ http://nightfall.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
