  1. sudo apt-get install gnuplot metamail

  2. GNUplot reads HH:MM as well as seconds-since-the-epoch. The latter can be obtained like this:

    date --date='2009-12-13 19:35' +%s

  3. #!/usr/bin/gnuplot

set term gif
set output "SimSpeed.gif"
plot "SimSpeed.txt"
quit

  4. metasend -b -s "Progress " -t me@home.com -m application/x-gzip -f tarbundle.tgz
