Re: [PLUG] Screen Captures

It's not possible to grab a screen capture of a tty since it's not an image to begin with, but text handed to your graphic card for display. (The graphic card is in text mode, rather than graphic mode.) Well, that is, unless you're using one of those weirdo graphic-mode text displays (necessary on systems for unicode and on most systems for Japanese/Korean/Chinese display). If you're going to want a record of something in text mode, use script or tee.

One way to do it is to use an Emacs shell buffer. When you are done with your session on the console write the shell buffer to a file.


1. fire up emacs
2. M-x shell
3. <do what you need to do>
4. C-x C-w (then the name of the file you want to write the shell buffer to).


Hope that helps.
