Why not make two shell scripts, one that sleeps for so long (say 20 minutes) using the unix sleep command, and then calls the remailer scripts in an infinite while loop. This would work if you set it up as a background process,and you don't need to be root for it to work.
I tried this on the system here, but it killed off the process when I logged off. If it's a UNIX system, try using the ``nohup'' (for ``no-hang-up'', from the days when you connected to computers by telephone) command to keep your background process alive after you log out.
