What program is "import" in I don't seem to have that on my system and 
tried a apt-get install import on testing and it was not there then I 
looked for  it on freshmeat and could not find it.

Thanks

I use import.

import -window root filename.png

It automatically saves in the format specified in the filename
extension. png, jpg etc.

To wait before a capture go...

sleep 5; import -window root filename.png
