Don't open captured images in GUI when invoked from command-line
I am repeatedly invoking shutter to perform image captures from the command-line within a script like so:
while true; do
shutter --window=
sleep $1
done
The trouble is that shutter gradually runs slower and slower each time its invoked. I suspect that the problem is that each screen capture is being opened in the Shutter GUI as a new tab. How to I prevent shutter from opening screen captures in its GUI? Is there a way to suppress the Shutter GUI altogether and just use it as a command line tool?

I have added a new cli-parameter (-n) and created a new testing version (0.88.2) of Shutter. Please use our testing PPA to update:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter-
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter
After updating you can use
shutter --window=

Thanks Mario Kemper (Romario), that solved my question.
Been capturing 9 different images every 5 minutes for the past 9.5 hours, and everything is running smoothly. Thank you, Mario!
