What was the issue with the current example?

The "convert" command is deprecated:

$ convert                                                                                       
WARNING: The convert command is deprecated in IMv7, use "magick" instead of "convert" or "magick convert"

Some systems are still on ImageMagick 6: https://repology.org/project/imagemagick/versions OpenBSD and Debian 12.

The "convert" command is deprecated:

I see.

@guijan have you tested the command in this PR and can confirm it works? I don't use imagemagick and the current docs came from someone else's suggestion (IIRC it was yours but I could be wrong).

It works.

Though the PR unnecessarily removes the exclamation mark from "hello, world!"

out Using grim because I'm on a Wayland system, but piping to ImageMagick all the same.

Alright, thanks to both of you. I've pushed the changes to master (https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot/commit/f97b3c60873ab51b6a49cd97d4fb0800c5f25fbc) with slight change of adding back the exclamation mark.
