34 <PRE>I agree. I was originally going to go for the cron option, but I thought
35 that the wait would be too long. I was thinking about the following two
38 1. Get services to run a script, that goes into the background, that will
39 send the relevant email. The script is run for every email.
40 2. Get services to communicate with another proccess, which is always
41 running, informing it of the new email to be sent. This process will then
42 take care of the nescessary tasks. This option would require that Services
43 ensures that the process is always running and operational.
