Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. I tried passing it through eesh, should have mentioned it... > I don't know if it can do precisly what you want, but you can send Well, instead of the standard: "XClock" NULL exec "xclock" I'd like: "Foo" NULL exec "-import -screen (or root) root /tmp/Screnshot.jpg" But no go, with or without eesh. Shell scripts without direct console acess as above work fine. Jonathan
