# Script to run pi-timolo.py in background available here
# wget https://raw.github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo/master/source/timolo.sh
# launch from command line or via entry in /etc/rc.local file
# You may have to change sleep delay if it does not run properly in rc.local
# make sure to make this script executable
# chmod +x timolo.sh
# NOTE : This script can be used as a generic launcher by changing
#        the parameters below
# This script avoids launching the pi-timolo.py script more than once
# since the pi camera hardware cannot be run more than once sumultaneously.
