Making Screenshots
In Parallels Server for Mac Bare Metal Edition, you can use the pctl capture command to capture an image (or screenshot) of your virtual machine screen. You can take screenshots of running virtual machines only. The session below demonstrates how to take a screenshot of the My_VM virtual machine screen and save it to the /usr/screenshots/image1.png file:
- Make sure that the virtual machine is running:
# pctl list
STATUS IP_ADDR NAME
running 10.10.10.101 101
running 10.10.10.201 My_VM
- Take the virtual machine screenshot:
# pctl capture My_VM --file /usr/screenshots/image1.png
Capture the VM screen...
The VM screen has been saved to /usr/screenshots/image1.png
- Check that the
image1.png file has been successfully created:# ls /usr/screenshots/
image1.png
