Re: java script auto refresh

I agree that having an option in the config file would be good idea. I wrote
this patch because my operations staff was complaining that it was
impractical to have some one sit in front of the web browser pointed at
prewikka and clicking a button every so often to get updates. For the most
part they just want to be able to glance at it every so often and see whats
happened in the last 5 minutes while they are doing other things.
