#!/bin/bash

# This script is intended to be bound to your printscreen button and take a
# screenshot with scrot.  The resulting screenshot should land in a folder
# that is synced with the ownlcoud client.  If all goes well, a public link to
# the screenshot will be copied into your clipboard, making it super easy to
# share screenshots.
# Requirements:
# ocsharetools: https://github.com/Azelphur/ownCloud-share-tools
# USERNAME: environment variable containing your owncloud username
# PASSWORD: environment variable containing your owncloud password
#
# Modify the following variables to match your environment:
timeout=15  # time (in seconds) to wait for file to upload
synclogfile=~/ownCloud/.owncloudsync.log
screenshotdir=~/ownCloud/screenshots
