Screenshot upload script

I wrote up this script to take a screenshot and upload it to my webserver a while ago and I want to share it, so without further adieu, I give you ShotUp:

#!/bin/bash

## Screenshot Upload script

## by Justin Hayes

## variables

# screen capture delay

DELAY='2'

# screen capture quality

QUALITY='100'

# screen capture output format

OUTPUT='jpg'

# directory

DIR='/tmp'

# timestamp

TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M`

# hostname

HOST=`uname -n`

# remote user

RUSER='justin'

# remote host

RHOST='192.168.1.101'

# remote directory

RDIR='/var/www/justin-hayes.com/web/www/files/screenshots'

# web directory

WEBDIR='http://www.justin-hayes.com/files/screenshots'

## let's get down to business...

scrot -q $QUALITY -d $DELAY $DIR/screenshot_$HOST\_$TIMESTAMP.$OUTPUT

scp $DIR/screenshot_$HOST\_$TIMESTAMP.$OUTPUT $RUSER@$RHOST:$RDIR

firefox $WEBDIR/screenshot_$HOST\_$TIMESTAMP.$OUTPUT

Use the script by placing it in /usr/bin and calling the command shotup in the Gnome run dialog box or equivalent for other display environments. Please note that the upload will only work if you've setup SSH public key authentication.
