Scrot?

You're kidding right?

That's slang for "scrotum".....

Coppers call homosexuals "Scrots" ....

Yet another fantastic Linux name for a program....

Not as good as LinPUS though... That one takes the cake..

I am sorry that you did not come across Alt-PrintScreen.

So you log on to your Ubuntu and press Alt-PrintScreen and you have
your screen capture. It even prompts you for the file name to save it,
how nice.

This "scrot", I think is more for spying on your spouse with a cron
job, to take screen picture every minute of some other special things
like that.

Goldfarb is a known troll. He attempts to create trouble. Best
to ignore him. If you do answer please ensure that you replace
the heavy cross-posting with a follow-up to a single newsgroup.
