Shell output problem

[Nathan England]

I have a php script which runs a command that takes a good while to finish, so I have 
the command running via passthru($cmd); so I can see the output. This works 
great, with one problem...

The output comes pretty quickly and I have to keep scrolling down the page to see 
the output.

I want some way to either make the page automatically scroll or refresh the page 
constantly while the command runs in the background and only shows the latest 
line of output.

As the bottom of the page has not been reached yet, it seems javascript will not 
work for me, because I cannot put an id tag of the bottom of the page which has 
not loaded yet, so javascript doesn't know where to scroll to, unless I'm doing it 
wrong.

Any advice or help would be great!
