[Gllug] Delayed data feed

[- Tethys]

Does anyone know of a simple delay utility that consumes data from
stdin and outputs it on stdout a fixed time later? What I want to be
able to do is:

	mkdata | delay 30 | send_data_to_customer

That will send the (time sensitive) output of mkdata to the customer
with a 30 second delay. The amount of data I'm talking about isn't so
large that I need to worry about memory usage, and buffering it in RAM
will work just fine. I can write it myself, but I'd rather not
reinvent the wheel if someone's already done it.
