I have a group of ubuntu 18.04 (Gnome) computers and laptops I am responsible for and I need to have a script on each one that will take regular screenshots and upload them to a dropbox folder. I should be able to pull down a install script from github and run the script to install all needed packages (i.e. rclone/scrot) and set up scripts that are needed. Screen shots should be taken every 5 minutes, regardless of who is logged in to the computer. The images should be named like: $USER'_%Y-%m-%d_%[login to view URL]' IE the user who is logged into the computer and the Date/time stamp. (using scrot) Screenshots stored in folder that cannot be accessed to without Sudo access. The images in this folder should be synced to a dropbox instance using rclone every 5 minutes. After a successful sync all images over 48 hours old should be deleted from the local folder. The Screenshot timing should be a variable in the script that can be changed before first run OR this could be a prompt in the terminal when install script is ran. The when to Sync timing should be a variable in the script that can be changed before first run OR this could be a prompt in the terminal when install script is ran. The time until old pictures are deleted should be a variable in the script that can be changed before first run OR this could be a prompt in the terminal when install script is ran. The information needed to set up the rclone to the drop box computer should be variables in the script that can be changed before first run OR this could be a prompt in the terminal when install script is ran.

Hi There, I'm a unix sysadmin by trade and operate over 3000+ hosts for the farm I currently work with so this should be straightforward, the biggest one being deploying this to the hosts initially. Hope to hear from you, Matt

Hi, The only thing which i need to test is the rclone which you need to sync with the dropbox. Rest of the requirement are easy to implement. The reason i opted for 3 days is to test the rclone functionality which i have not done before. You can refer my profile and reviews and let me know if interested. Thank You.

Hello. I can write this script in Bash or (preferably, since the logic is complex enough) in Tcl or (if you want something more popular) Python. The install script will be in Bash in any case. The script will use scrot or import (will check which has fewer dependencies) to capture screenshots to a directory and upload it with rclone to Dropbox. Implementing all requirements will not take more than a full workday. I can start as soon as you award the project.
