You whined about dependencies. Numbers is a dependency or the file is worthless.

Snit
Um, what?

Perhaps you do not understand the concept of dependencies?

owl
Perhaps you don't.

Snit
Well, I am sure there are details I do not know... but with the file I am speaking about you need either a modern web browser or the Numbers program.

Numbers requires a Mack. So that's out.

Nothing more (assuming you have those things actually running on your system with all that they need!)

All you need with mine is an ssh client.

I mean, sure, to use a program you need that program. To use sc you are pointing to a bunch of other programs one may very well not even have (even on Linux).

owl
So nothing from a Linux repo qualifies as competition for a Mack app because installing it would install dependencies. OK.

Snit
Not sure what word game you are trying to play. Can you get more specific?

Can you? Why whine about dependencies unless they cannot be met?

And even with those other programs to tie into sc and support your scripts, as far as I know nothing comes close to what I have shown you. Your solution surely does not.

No looping updates required. https://vid.me/txC9
