Screenshot w/AppleScript on Mac OS 8.6?
Posted by: morgant on 2010-06-24 07:28:44
It's hard to google for anything containing the word "screenshot" these days, and even harder to google for anything AppleScript that relates to pre-Mac OS X. Does anyone know of a way to grab a screenshot under Mac OS 8.6 that's scriptable? I'm fine with running a simple, low-overhead, and free app that'll facilitate the functionality (like I currently do for uptime) as long as it's scriptable. (This is for my Power Macintosh 9500 server that's serving buuto.makkintosshu.com.)

Locate one of the FKEY scripting additions. Then you can just send the normal command to grab a screen dump.
