Thank you. I do quite a lot of test automation and in many cases I want take screenshot of either the application we are testing or the whole desktop when ever test fails.
On Windows I use https://code.google.com/p/screenshot-cmd/, OSX https://github.com/smokris/GetWindowID + screencapture and on Linux I used to use imagemagic. My Windows and OSX solutions were much nicer because I could just drop those executables in git and don't have to worry about installing stuff beforeand. Now I can replace imagemagic with maim.
Off topic but for those of you doing this manually on vista and above there are two tools built into windows which are helpful. Both are launched from the start menu and are available on all machines:
1. Snipping tool. Allows you to screenshot and annotate then email, save, copy the screenshot. This lives in my taskbar.
2. Problem steps recorder. Screen recorder that produces an Html document with embedded images and annotated key presses and clicks.
