Automatic website screenshots

Jain7th

Hello, I wondered if there is any way, for a person, who can't program, to have something take screenshots of a website at a preset interval. So far I was unable to find any tool/app/script capable of doing so.
In an ideal world there would be a web app taking screenshots and uploading it to my flickr but I'd be more than happy to have a program on my mac or pc running over night and let it do it's work.

In the worst case I would run an auto reloader in Firefox and have something take screenshots automatically, it's just that I'd prefer to take screenshots of several sites at the same time, which wouldn't have a low resolution and require me to cut them.

I tried to take some kde html2png tools and wrap a script around them to do this. It wasn't very successful.

You may be able to rig up an automator script with Paparazzi or a shell script with webkit2png.

Yeah, webkit2png was what I was trying. Actually, it was khtml2png, but they are similar.

Paparazzi doesn't support Leopard yet and, as pathetic as it may sound, I have no idea how I would get this script to run at a certain interval.

If you're using OS X, there's a graphical front end for cron called http://www.abstracture.de/projects-en/cronnix.

Thank you so much guys! Cronnix with webkit2png works great.
