[Feature Request] Shell / text provider #75

Summary

Request to add support for reading from text files and/or executing scripts at scheduled intervals in Zebar.

Description

I've used GlazeWM v2 to display time tracking information from Toggl. I've created a shell script to output the status of a CLI to a text file, which was then read by the status bar. A cronjob on my local machine ran the script every two minutes to keep it up-to-date. Can Zebar include a feature to read from a text file or possibly execute a script at scheduled intervals?

Use Case

This feature would be useful for displaying dynamic and real-time information from various sources, such as time tracking tools, system monitoring scripts, or any other data that can be output to a text file or script.


PS: I've just installed the new version of GlazeWM & Zebar and it works great!
