linux - Bash: How to build a recursive cowsay -


here's linux command (you might need cowsay application.

cowsay 'moo'

here's command:

cowsay 'moo' | cowsay -n

the result pretty entertaining:

 ______________________________ /  _____                       \ | < moo >                      | |  -----                       | |         \   ^__^             | |          \  (oo)\_______     | |             (__)\       )\/\ | |                 ||----w |    | \                 ||     ||    /  ------------------------------         \   ^__^          \  (oo)\_______             (__)\       )\/\                 ||----w |                 ||     ||

now, of course, it's pretty fun repeat piped command n times. looks little this:

 cowsay 'moo' | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n | cowsay -n

cows nested inside cows saying things

but i'm thinking there must neater way of achieving this. let's want 500 cows saying each other, or 1,000, or 1,000,000. surely don't have keep finger on paste button?

here's question; there way in bash (command or script) recursively pass output of command given number of times?

cowsayn() {     local n=$1     shift     if ((n>1));         cowsay -n | cowsayn $((n-1))     else         cowsay -n     fi } echo 'moo' | cowsayn 500

Image
is possible retrieve eta google's distancematrix api (or alternative api). fyi, eta different duration, when using public transport. following example clarify request. when leave on friday @ 8.15 i'll able catch train @ 8.30 , arrive @ 9.00 am. google says duration 30 minutes. however, when leave on saturday @ 8.15 i'll able catch first train @ 9.00 , arrive @ 9.30 am. google still says duration 30 minutes, means ignore delay. google map supports functionality there api around giving me eta instead of duration. can see, distance-matrix' response no good. clarifying question little. eta estimated time of arrival , it's clear user wants know entire duration of transport (including waiting time public transport).
