I'm wondering if it is possible to have some kind of script running all
the
time. I have a site that collects data that users enter and emails
certain
people and does other various tasks with the data. Some of the
information
collected contains dates and times that could be up to three months from
now. What I am trying to do is have something fire off an email to
someone
when that future date/time comes around so a follow-up can be done.
Anyone know of anything I can look into for this.

You could use CRON to periodically run scripts.
