    Is there a built in way to run a piece of code asynchronously? I'd like to
    run some code in the background that's triggered by a user action on a web
    page.

    Examples of what I'm talking about:
    User clicks on "Update Database" which downloads a text file from another
    site and imports into a database. I don't want to user to have to wait for
    this.

    User clicks on "Email Clients" and it sends an email to 3000 clients. I
    don't want the user to sit there and wait for 3000 emails to send out. I can
    have it send an email later telling the client the results.
