A Batch Process

Suppose you are user big on machine big-machineand you have a shell script named batch-mailthat 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 ®le to person1, person2, person3, and person4, staggered ten seconds apart.

$LOGIN would also silently receive a copy of the ®rst 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
