This question is not so easy to answer. Because such functionality heavily depends on your actual desktop environment - KDE, Gnome, or something entirely different. However, I'd say that using python you have a good chance of exploiting the services that are actually available to you. For example, taking a screenshot: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/69645/take-a-screenshot-via-a-python-script-linux Uploading that to dropbox is simple python urllib stuff. And there seem to be ways to insert things into the clipboard as well: http://arminstraub.com/bits-and-bytes/kde-clipboard-on-the-command-line Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
