Much faster "nordvpn list" patch
Hi, thanks for the script. Here is an idea to make the "nordvpn list" function 100x faster.
# original with hot cache
time (
find /etc/openvpn/client/ -type l -name "nordvpn_*${1}*.conf" \
| xargs -L1 basename \
| cut -d _ -f 2 \
| cut -d . -f 1 \
| sort -g
) > /tmp/nordvpn-list-orig
real 0m11,493s
user 0m0,388s
sys 0m2,560s
# equivalent but WAY faster
time (
find /etc/openvpn/client/ -type l -name "nordvpn_*${1}*.conf" \
| rev \
| cut -f1 -d/ \
| rev \
| cut -d _ -f 2 \
| cut -d . -f 1 \
| sort -g
) > /tmp/nordvpn-list-new
real 0m0,071s
user 0m0,052s
sys 0m0,032s
# or, as the paths are hardcoded anyway, it can be faster still, but not noticeable:
time (
find /etc/openvpn/client/ -type l -name "nordvpn_*${1}*.conf" \
| cut -d _ -f 2 \
| cut -d . -f 1 \
| sort -g
) > /tmp/nordvpn-list-new2
real 0m0,048s
user 0m0,032s
sys 0m0,008s

Sorry for not answering earlier. This is great! Could submit a pull request? Thanks!
I almost never use Git(hub), and I lost my account login and notifications, without realizing it. So I couldn't give a pull request or reply earlier, sorry. But I see that in the meantime @drybalka has helped with merging it. Anyway, thanks both of you! edit: I don't know how to close the issue
