Title: Apple script/ automator
Post by: Wolf on January 04, 2012, 03:10:35 PM

So I had an idea for a project, but am not yet familiar enough with any of the languages I'm learning to follow through with the idea, so I ended up using apple script and automator. ( A little too user friendly :/ )
My idea was to Have my computer start a program upon log in that takes a screenshot every ten mins, then have that emailed to an anon email address. The problem I ran into was I'm not sure how to make this run in the back ground (where an unsuspecting user will not see it).
Any suggestions?

No idea how to do it with whatever you want it to be done in, but it would be kinda easy with Delphi... maybe even Python.

Still learning python, so far I'm liking it a lot better than some other languages.

Perl got a win32 screenshot module.

Code: [Select]

  use Win32::Screenshot;

  $image = CaptureRect( $x, $y, $width, $height );
  $image->Write('screenshot.png');

Ande,


Thanks, should be able to make this work. Never really gave much thought to perl after I started python.
Always on the move....
