I had come across websocketd a while ago, and to try it out, wrote a simple Python program and a web page. The two posts about it are here: 1. Use WebSockets and Python for web-based system monitoring: http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/01/use-websockets-and-python-for-web-based.html http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/01/use-websockets-and-python-... 2. websocketd and Python for system monitoring - the JavaScript WebSocket client: http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/01/websocketd-and-python-for-system.html http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/01/websocketd-and-python-for-... Note: As it says in one of the posts, you have to: set PYTHONUNBUFFERED=true for the Python program to work as a websocket server, though it works fine without that if only run directly at the command line (without websocketd). Thanks to Joe for pointing this out. websocketd is a nice utility.
