joclock

Joclock should be a builtin feature of jsh. Posting the command required to fire up joclock here for future reference.

xclock -norender -hd green -hl green -bg black -fg white -update 1 &

Indeed 🕐 :p

We should then also state "there's even a clock!" in the man page

[stefaantruijen]

Definitely! I want to get on this asap. In the meantime, if someone is feeling a burning desire to take on this challenge themselves, please feel free to :)

[jovanbulck]

Go ahead! You'll have to hack a bit however, since there's currently no backgrounding so doing just parseexpr(xclock -norender -hd green -hl green -bg black -fg white -update 1") will hang. (You'll need a strclone function anyway for parseexpr on constant strings, see the rl_completion_built_ins branch.) You could also use some libc functions that pass the string to sh, but that's a bit cheating :p

--> in the meantime (before backgrounding is done) you could write you're own code that forks the xclock process, passing all the arguments, but doesn't wait for completion or so...

Talking about easter eggs, I was also thinking of hacking the sl code to make it display an ASCII art 'jo-shell' banner instead of the train ;-) Shouldn't be too hard, I still got some old sl-hack code somewhere

[stefaantruijen]

What about putting the banner on one of the carts?

🚂 We should fix the scale a bit more:

Or use 2 trailers :

We could also add other information in the trailers, such as version nb, contributors, etc. Would be awesome :p
