[rt-users] ticket announce email

I do it using days, not minutes, but the concept is the same.  Try using a 
cron job that runs every 2 minutes.  The perl API makes it easy to read 
ticket values, so it would be pretty straightforward to compare Updated to 
now() and send an e-mail if the difference is > 5min.  It's possible this 
way to have a ticket languish for up to 6 minutes, but you could run the 
cron every minute if it's that critical.

Gene
