Assuming that you want to run this test on demand, just join the two scripts together as:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#set UNIQUE to Process ID + current date and time
UNIQUE=$$`date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
echo $UNIQUE  >>output.log
mail -s "Test Response Time" someone@gmail.com <<EOF
Remarks:$UNIQUE
Sent at `date`
EOF
#test to see if received
i=1
while [ $i -lt 18 ]
do
grep $UNIQUE /var/spool/mail/mailbox
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo Received 
echo $UNIQUE `date` >>output.log
exit 0
else
echo Not yet
fi
i=`expr $i + 1`
sleep 10
done
mail -s "not received" admin <<EOF
email not recieved in 3 minutes
EOF
