gnome-screenshot: Take a screenshot after the specified number of seconds.
$ gnome-screenshot --delay ${5}
try on your machine
The command "gnome-screenshot --delay ${5}" is used to take a screenshot on a GNOME desktop environment with a specified delay.
Here's the breakdown of each component of the command:
- "gnome-screenshot" is the command-line tool used to capture screenshots on a GNOME-based desktop environment.
- "--delay" is an option or flag used to set a delay before taking the screenshot.
- "${5}" is a placeholder for a variable representing the delay time in seconds. The actual value for the delay needs to be provided when executing the command.
To use this command, you would replace "${5}" with the desired delay time (in seconds) when executing it. For example, if you want a delay of 5 seconds before taking the screenshot, you would use:
gnome-screenshot --delay 5
