method by @larknart for Ubuntu

Create a daemon configuration script under /etc/init (NOT /etc/init.d):

$ nano /etc/init/mybot.conf

code sample:

description "MyBot Daemon"
author "larknart"

start on startup
stop on shutdown
respawn

exec /usr/share/getUpdateCLI.php

Alter getUpdateCLI.php, adding the following at the very bottom:

sleep(5); // Sleep for 5 seconds.

Create a symbolic link to /usr/share/:

$ ln -s /var/www/html/bot/getUpdateCLI.php /usr/share

You can now use start mybot | stop mybot | status mybot in terminal then you'll automatically get update.
