My setup is similar except I'm using the RTL tuner stick.
I noticed it had stopped working after a while - which I put down to the dump1090 program hanging.
I set up services to run a script dump1090.sh and a separate script 'fr24' to run fr24feed_arm-le_225s
all i did was create a cron job
0 * * * * sudo service dump1090.sh restart
1 * * * * sudu service fr24 restart
on every hour at minute 0 restart dump1090
at 1 minute past the hour restart FR24
FR24 does seem to carry on working if dump1090 has been restarted, but just in case it did get a little upset I restarted that too.
your single script could be run from a cron job too - just remember to enter the full path to the script as the thing the cron runs.
oh. the services are set to start as the PI is started.
Next job is to make a co-linear antenna from some co-ax cable as specified here http://www.balarad.net/ (presently I have a dipole made by splitting the about 10cm core out of a length of coax, as per the cork antenna - that's giving me about 200km radius)
