Logger connects to the g5 transmitter, waits for the first bg, logs a json entry record, then exits. Doing it one-shot at a time seems to make xdrip-js more reliable in some cases. xdrip-get-entries.sh is a wrapper shell script that is called from cron every minute. It calls the one shot mode logger handling the preparation and sending of the blood glucose data to Nightscout and to OpenAPS.
Logger and xdrip-get-entries.sh currently use the raw g5 blood glucose data and a simple offset for calibration. Only those who closely monitor and check blood glucose regularly comparing to the raw ("unfiltered") g5 glucose data should use this program at this time.

Update node version. Follow these steps in this order.
The version of Node that ships with jubilinux is old (v0.10.something). Here are the instructions for updating Node:
sudo apt-get remove nodered -y
sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy -y
sudo apt-get remove npm -y # if you installed npm
sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/efidoman/xdrip-js-logger.git
cd xdrip-js-logger
sudo npm run global-install
sudo apt-get install bluez-tools
Add cron job entry (replace "40SNU6" with your g5 transmitter id in both places below) ...
* * * * * cd /root/src/xdrip-js-logger && ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -q '40SNU6' || ./xdrip-get-entries.sh 40SNU6 | tee -a /var/log/openaps/xdrip-js-loop.log
sudo node logger <######> where <######> is the 6-character serial number of the transmitter.
To see verbose output, use sudo DEBUG=* node logger <######>, or replace the * with a comma separated list of the modules you would like to debug. E.g. sudo DEBUG=smp,transmitter,bluetooth-manager node logger <######>.
You can also run
cd /root/src/xdrip-js-logger
./xdrip-get-entries 40SNU6
# replace 40SNU6 with your transmitter id
