Add config option for 'minimum interval between checks' #100

Closed kdave closed 8 years ago

kdave commented 8 years ago

During experimenting, the 'timeline' option can be run quite often though there are no changes. The cache works, but still has to ping the remote servers for no reason.

I'd like to see a config option that would let the 'timeline' command use just the cache and skip connecting to the remotes if this happens within the configured period. For parity, there would need to be a commandline option to override the behaviour. The default could be a few seconds or a minute, whatever.

Here's an attempt I made. It could be useful. I first encountered some issues due to the way cache objects are created but quickly understood how to work around them. The expected results are provided : https://github.com/LeMagnesium/twtxt/commit/6bbe8a7838d3480a564cbfe2400fcaa249964a4c (I used 10 seconds as default value for timeline_update_interval)
