Build a capture acquisition machine with Selenium

To create a capture capture server on CentOS6 I tried using Selenium!

First, set up the virtual display so that Firefox can run on the CUI. Virtual display uses Xvfb

# yum -y install Xvfb firefox

Also install firefox

Then set the UUID

# dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

Preparing to work with Selenium from Python

# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
# python ez_setup.py
# wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
# python get-pip.py
# pip install selenium

Allow Xvfb settings and automatic startup Create rc script

# vi /etc/init.d/xvfb

#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: - 91 35
# description: Xvfb
export DISPLAY="localhost:1.0"
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

prog=$"Xvfb"

# Xvfb program
XVFB=/usr/bin/Xvfb
STATUS=":1 -screen 0 1024x768x8"
pidf=/var/run/xvfb.pid

start() {
    if [ -e $pidf ];
    then
        action $"Starting $prog: " /bin/false
        echo "$prog already started"
    else
        action $"Starting $prog: " /bin/true
        $XVFB $STATUS > /dev/null 2>&1 &
        echo $! > $pidf
    fi
}

stop() {
    if [ -e $pidf ];
    then
        action $"Stopping $prog: " /bin/true
        pid=`cat $pidf`
        test ! -z $pid && kill $pid && rm -f $pidf
    else
        action $"Stopping $prog: " /bin/false
        echo "$prog not running"
    fi
}

status() {
    if [ -e $pidf ];
    then
        echo "$prog (pid `cat $pidf`)Is running..."
    else
        echo "$prog not running"
    fi
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    restart)
        stop
        sleep 1
        start
        ;;
    status)
        status
        ;;
    *)
        echo $"Usave: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0

Register the created rc script as a service

# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/xvfb
# chkconfig --add xvfb
# chkconfig xvfb on
# /etc/init.d/xvfb start

Set virtual display as environment variable

# vi /etc/profile

Add the following

export DISPLAY="localhost:1.0"

Finally create a capture acquisition program

$ vi cap.py

How to use

$ python cap.py [URL] [Save destination path] [device(pc or sp)]

If you want to process the captured capture, slice image Gonyo Gonyo below
