Automated Screenshots

Does anyone know of a program, or script that will:

1. Take a screenshot
2. write it to a jpg, gif, or png (being able to choose would be nice)
3. create a coresponding thumbnail image (if desired)
4. optionally upload them to the web.

I just thought it would be nice to have a current screenshot up on my site, and was looking for an easy way to do it.

There are a few, but they get annoying because they take up resources every so often.

You could do it with IrfanView and Windows task scheduler if you wanted to.
Put something like this in a batch file:



"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" /capture=0 /convert=g:\server\webroot\desktop.jpg

"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" g:\server\webroot\desktop.jpg /resample=(100,0) /convert=g:\server\webroot\desktop_th.jpg

Then setup the scheduler to call it every so often.
