If you want a few seconds to close any windows and stuff before the shot is taken, add -pause <n> to the import command, where <n> is the number of seconds to pause before taking the shot.

Import is part of ImageMagick, it has loads of useful tools like "convert" to make your screenshots smaller to fit nicely on a web page
