Really, at a trivial level 'at' is much more apposite however with smart
batch handling, cron might be easier.

Also you need to authenticate requests through the email address - usually
this is done by emailing back a response to a prompt. For that you will
need a mailbox with procmail setup in front of it or a cron job polling the
mailbox.
