There are two types of format specifier. Characters preceded by a '%' are interpreted by strftime(2). See man strftime for examples. These options may be used to refer to the current date and time. The second kind are internal to scrot and are prefixed by '$' The following specifiers are recognised: $f image path/filename (ignored when used in the filename) $m thumbnail path/filename $n image name (ignored when used in the filename) $s image size (bytes) (ignored when used in the filename) $p image pixel size $w image width $h image height $t image format $$ prints a literal '$' \n prints a newline (ignored when used in the filename) Example: scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_scrot.png' -e 'mv $f ~/images/shots/' Creates a file called something like 2000-10-30_2560x1024_scrot.png and moves it to your images directory.
