Ah I may be dodging your question here, but since I don't expect my information to change that often - I use a simple script to cache it on my end.
$ cat cached_screenfetch
#!/bin/bash
# you could even keep this in a place that isn't scrubbed on reboots
SCREENFETCH_CACHE=/tmp/screenfetch.info
CAT_BIN=/usr/bin/cat
function read_from_cache { $CAT_BIN $SCREENFETCH_CACHE; }
# we don't want to see any errors and we want to wrap long lines
# short and sweet
function write_to_cache { screenfetch -E -w > $SCREENFETCH_CACHE; }
if [[ -f $SCREENFETCH_CACHE ]]
then
read_from_cache
else
write_to_cache
read_from_cache
fi
# the first fresh screenfetch
$ time ./cached_screenfetch
# hiding the output
real 2m0.773s
user 0m0.692s
sys 0m0.448s
# successive calls
$ time ./cached_screenfetch
# hiding the output
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.009s
Hopefully this helps.
I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x")
Can we have a fast mode so I can add it to .bashrc? Is there some kind of caching system or just a mode to say "get only the things that won't take ages to get"? Thanks!
