    Everything's possible. You would need to have an X server running on your host if you're on a *nix machine. Launch the browser via shell command, passing site's url as an argument (should be possible no?), and take the screenshot using tool such as scrot. Crop , scale and save it - there you go. If your on a windows box, you would probably be able to use com objects, but that's not a field I know about..
