Why do think this script will "substantially eat" the battery life ? Once started it runs 2 commands does a small amount of processing and appends to a file, then sleeps for almost 60 seconds. Typical bread and butter Unix.

Personally I think people should calm down, if they don't like the N900 return it and buy something else, or wait and see what occurs and find work-arounds for their issues until fixes appear.
