buffer_start
The buffer_start command stores snapshots in a specific image buffer.
Before the command can be used, the buffer facility must be initiated
using the buffer_init command.
When invoked, the buffer_start command is executed in the
background. Any subsequent command in the event entry will be
executed immediately.
To retrieve the stored images, specify the source using this syntax:
Example:
You can also retrieve the images using the mail and ftp commands.
Syntax
buffer_start [-src SOURCEFILE] [-interval TIME]
[-duration TIME] [-store SIZE];
Options
-src Specifies the source file name, i.e. halfsize.jpg,
fullsize.jpg or hugesize.jpg.
-interval
Specifies the time interval between consecutive snapshots. If
omitted, new snapshots will be generated without any delay.
Format:
h<hours>m<minutes>s<seconds>.
-duration
Specifies the total time for the command to run. If omitted,
the buffer_start command will be issued only once. Format:

until it is interrupted by any of the commands buffer_init,
buffer_start or buffer_stop.
