Don't forget to make it executable...

• sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/MQTTstats.sh

The cron job

Add this line by editing roots crontab

• sudo crontab -e

& add this line at the end:

• * * * * * /usr/bin/mosquitto_pub -h broker.domain.tld -t `hostname` -m "`/usr/local/bin/MQTTstats.sh`"

replace broker.domain.tld with the address of your broker

(Yes... It's true... If you haven't yet installed the Mosquitto Clients, it's not gonna work... :P )
