provide flag to disable turtle animation

Open yfarjoun opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

As much as I love the walking turtle, I also like to run cromshell within watch and that doesn't play nice with the animation....

Seems reasonable. Turtle behavior should be generally more configurable. Possible solution: --season argument to control turtle actions....

--season spring: turtle wandering back and forth behavior
--season summer: mating season, two turtles
--season fall: turtle sluggish
--season winter: turtle hidden due to hibernation

We might also want --turtle-status so people can get an update on how the turtle is doing.

Be VERY careful what you wish for... sometime when I'm bored I might actually implement some of these.

@yfarjoun How are you calling it within watch? To check the status periodically?

jonn-smith avatar May 24 '19 17:05 jonn-smith

yes..

watch -n30 -c ~/cromshell/cromshell list -u -c

Cool. There are a couple of things that might be extremely helpful for you:

If you're just waiting for the job to go from submitted to running you should instead use the -w flag when submitting a job.

If you're just waiting on a job to finish, you can use the notify command to be alerted when the job is in some terminal state.
