Auto Refresh ChromeĪuto refresh, also known as auto reload, refers to the action of refreshing a page automatically after a certain interval of time (for instance, several minutes). This post shows you what to do when your browser keeps refreshing automatically. However, some people are bothered by the auto refresh in Chrome or other browsers and they want to stop it.
Some apps and browsers will set a time interval for an auto refresh by default. Well, I hope this long post helps! There might be ways to do this without the command line, but you'll have to look around.It's needed to refresh a page especially when changes have been made to it.

This saves to folder called Shots (must exist!) in your home folder, and names the file given the time and date.Īlternately you can open shutter and navigate to Edit > Preferences and select a directory there where you would like to save.Īn example screenshot of today's google doodle is here. So change that line to read something like this for example: shutter -web='WWW-HERE' -output='~/Shots/Web%Y%m%d%T' -e To save the files somewhere else or with a special name you can add the -output flag to the shutter command(before the -e!). If you want it to keep going until you logout, you can just type the name you chose after pressing Alt + F2, and it will keep going forever in the background.
To stop it, press Ctrl + C on your keyboard. Now you can open a terminal and type the file name you chose to start it taking screen shots every five minutes. Remembering to replace FILE with the name you chose. Replace Open a terminal and do chmod +x FILE and then sudo cp FILE /usr/local/bin There is no GUI way to do this every five minutes with shutter, but we can make it do the job with the command line.Ĭopy the following into gedit: #! /bin/bash In a terminal, do sudo apt-get install shutter The screenshot app 'shutter' has what you are looking for.
