First we need to allow your script to write to the status file without needing to be run as root. You will need to run:
Code:
chmod 0777 /var/www/html/index.html
This will allow your script to write to index.html to actually update it.
I assume that you are familiar a terminal-based editor (vim or nano). Run
Code:
crontab -e
and add the following line to the file that you see:
Code:
*/5 * * * * python /foo/bar/node.py
Save and quit. Your crontab will have been applied and the script will run every 5 minutes, assuming the system is booted up (not necessarily logged in as you).
If this seems a bit convoluted to you, I can remotely set this up for BTC0.015.
