Need reminder script/service
I'm looking for a script (either Javascript or Perl CGI) that will allow visitors to enter a date and a message, then on that date email the visitor a reminder note about what they entered.
For example: Someone wants to be reminded to buy a gift for Father's Day. They enter a date on which to be reminded, indicate if they want it automatically reoccuring each year, enter a message like "Buy Dad a gift!!" and enter their email address. On that date the script automatically sends them their message.
Alternatively, if not a script is there a free service that does this that can be linked to from a web site?
Thanks!

My company made a script similar to that a while ago. The main trick is whether your host supports CRON Jobs. You cannot use JavaScript for it, as it has to be server-side.
There is a free script at http://www.tesol.net/scripts/RemindMe/ that does something similar. However I found it limiting.
Good luck,
