Purpose

  • Irrigation
gollark: I doubt it would be very intensive. Just mildly inelegant and inefficient.
gollark: I'm sure there's *some* way to background it or whatever, or offload it to another process.
gollark: Or, I guess, more generically, "a thing to run a shell command based on some ingame action", which I bet already exists.
gollark: That sounds like a highly inefficient way to say "a thing to take ZFS snapshots on command".
gollark: I am very happy that none of my stuff ever has to deal with more than something like a few requests a second of traffic.
