You could do this with a simple shell script in combination with the Unix at command. It would looks something like: #!/bin/sh # $1 = user(s) to mail, space separated string users=$1 shift # $2 (now $1) = time to send reminder time=$1 shift # The rest of the args are the subject to remind about echo "mail -s 'remind $users about $@' $USERNAME" | at $time mutt -s "$@" -c $USERNAME $users Obviously you could get more sophisticated with this if you like. -- Derek D.
