AdHoc refresh only #472

Closed m-denton closed 6 years ago

m-denton commented 6 years ago

Hey there,

I would like to have my plugin only refresh (run a bash script) when I tell it to. Not sure how or if this can be done.

The refresh period is controlled by the filename. I'm not sure if you can remove that part of the filename, but you could try it. If not, set it to period longer than you expect to refresh manually. eg 7d or 365d

You can also Refresh remotely using a custom URL https://github.com/matryer/bitbar/blob/master/Docs/URLScheme.md which you might bind to some keyboard shortcut rather than having to use the mouse and menu.
