A Batch Process
Suppose you are user big on machine big-machine and you have a shell script named batch-mail
that contains the following lines:
#
# Batch Mail - batch mailing of a file to a LOT of users
#
# Usage: batch-mail "<from>" "<subject>" <filename>
sender_copy=$LOGIN
replyto=The-Mr-Big-list
fastmail -b $sender_copy -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person1
sleep 10
fastmail -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person2
sleep 10
fastmail -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person3
sleep 10
fastmail -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person4
The command:
batch-mail "Mr. Big" "Warning to all" warning.text
would mail a copy of the warning.text file to person1, person2, person3, and person4, stag-
gered ten seconds apart.
$LOGIN would also silently receive a copy of the first message in the mail. Each resultant message would
include the header lines:
From: big@big-machine (Mr. Big)
Subject: Warning to all
Reply-To: The-Mr-Big-list
