Is there a *console* screen capture

I would like to take a few snapshots of a console where I have dosemu running
and old DOS application. Does anyone know of a utility that can grab that
screen from another console?

TIA, wishing you well.

Try 'cat /dev/vcsa0 > file' or 'cat /dev/vcs0 > file' (with 0 being the
number of the console you use). The files will require some post
processing (they contain escape codes,...)

If that doesn't work, I'm pretty sure there must be a way to capture the
content of a framebuffer console to a bitmap file.

I would like to take a few snapshots of a console where I have dosemu running
and old DOS application. Does anyone know of a utility that can grab that
screen from another console?

TIA, wishing you well.

I don't see this post on the list, so I am re-sending it.

As root do:

cat /dev/vcs1 > file

where 1 refers to tty1.


Please don't clutter your posts with pgp signatures.
Most of us don't have the software to interpret them
and I, for one, don't give a rip if you are who you say
you are or not. We are exchanging info about DEbian/Linux,
NOT Swiss bank account numbers....

I think gimp can capture the screen, as well as quite a few other
utilities, I imagine. This would be a graphic image.

If the program is operating in text mode, you might be able to capture
the output or input in a regular DOS file using pipes (that is, pipes
with dos).

It's here twice. Just be patient.

Yes. You are partly right and I have corrected my sig. Thank you.

But you are also partly wrong, because my sig at least conveys
potentially useful information.

Well, very few people use pgp signatures on the list.....

Some may HAVE the software, but have the good taste not to use it
when there is no point.

I guess I meant what I said. It is Debian/Linux as well as the other.


To be truly accurate, one would say: Debian/GNU/BSD/Linux

No BSD, no Linux.

The official name of the distribution is "Debian GNU/Linux", and has
been ever since Debian 1.1. In case of doubt, I always opt for using the
correct name.

For the record, roughly 21% of mail to this list is signed. I am not
sure if that fits your definition of 'very few'...

_roughly_ 21%? Can't you be any more precise? :)

Who died and made you list administrator?

Whether or not you give a `rip' is immaterial to the thousands of list
subscribers who've participated on this list long before you knew it
existed, and will doubtless continue participating long after you are
gone.

Ever since you popped up on this list, you have proven bossy,
argumentative and generally rude, especially regarding things about
which you believe erroneous information.

Please, cease and desist . . .
