    A cron job (on Unix, a scheduled task in Windows) can do it. This is a program that is called repeatedly after a fixed interval. This interval can be anything from less than a second to days. You would probably like a job that runs once a day, checks if someone needs a reminder and sends it when necessary.

    An XML service is a concept, not an actual thing.
