hello,
are there any command line utilities that would let me get a screen
capture of a web page? ultimately i want to build an archive of web
page snapshots and i'm looking to build a script that would automate
this.

so far the only thing i can think of is to have a firefox window
open, then do a firefox -remote URL command to load the page i want
into firefox and then use xwd to capture the firefox window to an
image. [although i'm still not sure how to get the firefox window
resource ID so that i can grab it with xwd] however this is still
fairly problematic because i won't know if, or when, the page has
finished loading.

is there a better utility for doing something like this?
really appreciate any help.
thanks,
ken
