ReportBot: automated website report viewing system

Introduction

iSIKHNAS ReportBot is intended for automated hands-off demonstration and display of the iSIKHNAS web site, initially intended for use in the Director General's Diorama room, but potentially for others that want to demonstrate the system or to have automated display for monitoring the system.

This system provides automated on-screen display of all the available reports on the iSIKHNAS web site. In an existing web browser (such as Chrome), the system shows one of the reports, waits, then automatically displays the next report, moving through all the reports on the system, and then looping through all indefinitely until the system is manually shut down.

It is run by installing some software and scripts on a standalone internet connected computer, which drives the display.
