| Nov 25, 2018 at 13:25 | comment | added | kasperd | Nice. Is there a way to get it to do colour as well? (screendump reads from /dev/vcsa devices which does have colour information, but it seems to be stripped from the output.) Btw. I like to combine it with the watch command to see live output like watch -n0.1 screendump. | |
