owfs/fuse worked ok if you only have one script collecting data
I am now confused on when someone would use owfs/fuse?... now that you
have pointed me to owshell functionality. Does the same thing without
having to rely on fuse

FUSE advantages:
1. No need to run owserver (if no other processes need access).
2. All languages can do file access -- owshell requires spawning a new
process.
3. Easier to use tar, gzip and tools like that.
4. Directory traversals, file lists, etc are more natural than the string
prcfessing needed with owshell -- especially helpful when the 1-wire layout
isn't known beforehand.
OWSHELL advantages:
1. No need for FUSE, it's kernel module, or library.
2. No need for a mount point, and no permissions issues.
3. Runs on all platforms. (Probably anything that has a tcp stack).
4. Completely public domain (not GPL).
5. Very small binary
