The short answer to this is use 'cron', as this sort of processing really 
shouldn't be done in Radiator.

The longer answer is that the next version of Radiator has a "MainLoopHook" 
that fires once per second in the main event loop inside radiusd, so you 
could use that to do whatever you want (use with caution however).

And of course you could always use a StartupHook to set up whatever timeouts 
and so on that you thought might be useful, using the same routines that 
Radiator uses internally.

cheers
