hmm, one sort of complicated way to do this i'm sure someone else will have an easier method.

Automate your script by using a cron job. Make your script post to a log with a time-date stamp for everytime it writes to the log. Create a second program that reads the entries of the log (importance of time-date stamp) every 5 min or something.

This second prgram could print to the screen the log entries. The second program would be pretty simple, a little file IO is all there is too it. I'm sure theere is an easier way, but with my experience this is how I would do it.
