Not that difficult. In general, N Sup processes should be able to run as
long as N-1 of them are readonly wrt the index and sources file. (I
think!) So sup -c could launch either with a readonly inbox buffer, or
without one at all. (Which would be faster, if the intention is just to
quit after sending.)
However, to be safe, locking should be added to the sent.mbox to prevent
multiple Sup processing from overwriting each other's sent messages. Ben
Walton's lock manager I think will be perfect for this.
