title: Raspberry Pi Refresh Browser
body: <p>I have a raspberry pi set up to act as a signage system using a google presentation url as what its displaying. Problem is I need this page to be refreshed every 5 minutes to grab new information added or removed from the slideshow.</p>
  
  <p>What I had set up was a small cron job running every 5 minutes</p>
  
  <pre><code>*/5 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 &amp;&amp; /bin/bash /home/pi/refresh.sh 
  [xdotool search “Chromium” windowactivate --sync key F5] &lt;- Contents of refresh.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However as I have noticed from watching the display it is not auto refreshing and if I run that command manually from ssh it refreshes just fine.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have any tips? Maybe I'm missing something?</p>
