run a cell periodically

[tachsin]

Hey there Plutorians!

I just started using Pluto and I'm already loving it! Now I have a situation that I'm running a simulation and it continuously dumps data inside a text file, and I read that data and plot through Pluto.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate running the cell periodically so I could retire from clicking let's say at every 5 seconds?

Cheers!

On the client side you can use PlutoUI.Clock(..) which creates a widgets that periodically updates its value. If you are interested in running dependent cells when the file changes, take a look at this discussion.
