tjluoma / test-stretchlink.sh

Created April 29, 2015 01:43

This is a shell script I wrote to test how fast StretchLink 1.0 (http://brettterpstra.com/2015/04/28/stretchlink-1-dot-0/) works, as referenced at http://www.macstories.net/linked/stretchlink-unshortens-and-cleans-urls-from-your-menu-bar/

	#!/bin/zsh -f

	# this is necessary for ZSH to be able to use $EPOCHSECONDS
	zmodload zsh/datetime

	# this gives a date/time stamp without requiring an external call to the `date`
	# program
	function timestamp { strftime "%Y-%m-%d--%H.%M.%S" "$EPOCHSECONDS" }

	# This was the tricky part:
