Perl/Apache/Import screen shots script

[Sk8hard]

Ok, on my Linux machine here, I've been trying to write a script to take screen shots of my desktop everytime someone views the script from their browser. My script is very simple. It calls the X program 'import' which takes a screen shot and saves it to a writeable directory. However, it doesn't work. It works when I execute it from a terminal, but when I view it using Apache and my web browser, import fails to execute properly. Anyone have any ideas what is keeping it from working? The import permissions are fine, and I tried running the Apache webserver as both nobody, and my username 'nick'. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey, Sk8hard!

Could you e-mail me the script, andrejkw@comcast.net . And I would be more than glad to help you. :)

Sincerely,
Andrew
