Daily Screens (MacOS only)

Please don't upload to GitHub

A cron-job utility that takes a screenshot of your main screen every minute using Launchd.

Usage

  1. git clone this project into your Mac home folder, you go there with cd ~.
  2. Update no.nilsnh.daily-screens.plist, you need change the entry ProgramArguments so that the path to the downloaded cron-shotter.sh script can be found.
  3. Then you copy no.nilsnh.daily-screens.plist into ~/Library/LaunchAgents. Jobs in this folder are run as the current logged in user.
  4. Load the script with launchctl load no.nilsnh.daily-screens.plist.

Uninstalling

  1. Call launchctl unload no.nilsnh.daily-screens.plist to disable the script.
  2. Delete the script from ~/Library/LaunchAgents.

Much thanks to this blogpost by Alvin Alexander for explaining that I needed to use Launchd instead of cron for MacOS.
