Description
For any
defpollvariable, if:intervalis zero, then its script is called exactly one time, and not scheduled for any future executions.Usage
Simply define something such as
(defpoll username :interval 0 "echo $USER")and instead of continuously calling theecho $USERscript (as is current behavior) it will instead just store$USERinsideusername. This is probably preferred as$USERshould not change while eww is running.Additional Notes
While week-long intervals and similar strategies exist, this creates a standard way to execute a command once for a variable. Fixes #883.
