I have a script that takes screenshots of linux man pages as they show in the console

try(){
   clear
   timeout 0.2 $1 
   re=$?
   echo trying $1>>log.txt
   echo result is $re>>log.txt
   if [ ! $re -eq 127 ]; then
       sleep 0.2
       import -window osboxes@osboxes:~/Downloads/Parser\ Project\Code/iteration\ 3 iter3/$1.png
       echo $1 captured>>log.txt
   fi
}
try man\ \-P\ cat\ AB
try man\ \-P\ cat\ ABRT\-ACTION\-ANALYZ
try man\ \-P\ cat\ ABRT\-ACTION\-ANALYZ
try man\ \-P\ cat\ ABRT\-ACTION\-ANALYZ

My true list of commands is quite long. Without \-P\ cat\ it wont display the man files. In its present form it does display each man file but wont take the screen shot of each.

Error: unrecognised option '-P' error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/1275

Any idea how I should correct it - I have no clue.

Your $1 will contain spaces. I expect they are passed to the command line, so your import command ends with:

Code: Select all

iter3/man -P cat AB.png

If this should be a filename, you should probably quote it.

Sorry can you elaborate more clearly?

The files have to be given the name of the command that is being run. Over 1000 of them. If I run it without man - just the raw command it saves & names the files OK.

But I need to take a screen shot of the man file output for each command & give it a relevant name. Not manually of course. I'm not familiar at all with shell scripting to make it difficult.

I'm not a bash expert. If you include "-debug all" in the convert command, IM will tell you the arguments it sees.

Debug just gives that error about -P

The top of the debug output will have something like this:

Code: Select all

 Command line: c:\im\ImageMagick-6.9.2-5-Q16\convert {-debug} {all} {rose:} {r.png}

Working now:

Code: Select all

try(){
   clear
   timeout 0.2 man -P cat $1 
   re=$?
   echo trying $1>>log.txt
   echo result is $re>>log.txt
   if [ ! $re -eq 127 ]; then
       sleep 0.2
       import -window osboxes@osboxes:~/Downloads/Parser\ Project\Code/iteration\ 3 iter3/$1.png
       echo $1 captured>>log.txt
   fi
}
try AB
try ABRT\-ACTION\-ANALYZ
try ABRT\-ACTION\-ANALYZ
try ABRT\-ACTION\-ANALYZ

So the man command was inserted after the timeout not in the list of commands - not in the import either
