I'm thinking you guys are all going overboard.

It sounds like all Jim needs to do, is to have Xastir save a snapshot
every 5 minutes, and then have a cron job set up that copies the
latest image to a storage directory, renaming the file (possibly with
a timestamp) when it moves it.

This means that the instance of Xastir needs to be focused on the area
of interest, and that you do not have the capability of zooming in and
out to see specific areas.

Dynamic playback with the ability to move the map around, zooming in
on areas of interest during the replay would be cool, but quite a bit
more work than snapshots and cron jobs.
