Yes, of course, vidcontrol can do that. If you pass the proper device as standard input, it can grab virtual consoles even if they are not the active one. For instance I start mutt on ttyv0 (inside a screen) and then switch consoles to ttyv1 and type: % vidcontrol -p < /dev/ttyv0 > mutt.scr With the help of scr2png port you can convert this .scr file to a nice PNG image (for presenting on a web-page, etc). -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
