Using mailx to send in the future? Also change "from" address?
Hey, I've got a script using mailx to send an email to the user, but i'd like it if I could have it send the email sometime in the future, not right away. And by future, i mean like 1 minute in the future.
And I don't want it to halt the script in anyway. Perhaps there's a way to have it spawn a process or something that runs for a minute before sending the mail or something?
Also, is there a way to specify the "from" address using mailx? I would rather have a different reply-to address than the system account.

rt-email-dashboards-4
rt-email-dashboards(8) Request Tracker Reference rt-email-dashboards(8)
NAME
rt-email-dashboards - Send email dashboards
SYNOPSIS
rt-email-dashboards [options]
DESCRIPTION
This tool will send users email based on how they have subscribed to dashboards. A dashboard is a set of saved searches, the subscription
controls how often that dashboard is sent and how it's displayed.
Each subscription has an hour, and possibly day of week or day of month. These are taken to be in the user's timezone if available, UTC
otherwise.
SETUP
You'll need to have cron run this script every hour. Here's an example crontab entry to do this.
0 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /opt/rt4/local/sbin/rt-email-dashboards
This will run the script every hour on the hour. This may need some further tweaking to be run as the correct user.
OPTIONS
This tool supports a few options. Most are for debugging.
-h
--help Display this documentation
--dryrun
Figure out which dashboards would be sent, but don't actually generate or email any of them
--time SECONDS
Instead of using the current time to figure out which dashboards should be sent, use SECONDS (usually since midnight Jan 1st, 1970,
so 1192216018 would be Oct 12 19:06:58 GMT 2007).
--epoch SECONDS
Back-compat for --time SECONDS.
--all Ignore subscription frequency when considering each dashboard (should only be used with --dryrun for testing and debugging)
