recordwin allows you to record a specific window in
the current screen instead of the entire display. This is a
wrapper program for vnc2swf.py and
x11vnc. First it invokes xwininfo
program to get the position of a target window. If no option is
given, a user is prompted to specify a window with a cross (+)
cursor. Then it runs x11vnc in background and starts
vnc2swf.py with a proper option to record only the
window you specified. With the option -all specified,
the entire screen is recorded.
Security consideration:
The user must be aware that recordwin will open up
x11vnc to accept any local client that comes first.
Although this client is only allowed to peek the current screen, this can be
potentially security threat. So don't use this if your desktop machine allows
other users to login.
recordwin
should have set a temporaly password for x11vnc.
