Well, if you'd care to use Perl, it would be something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl

while (true)
{
        system ("/path/to/sensors > /path/to/sensors.txt");

        sleep 20;
}

And, of course, unless you don't want your terminal back while the script
is running, add & to the end of the command.

Hope it's what you're looking for!
