Yes, exactly - a cron job. But we tend to only do it ~2-4 times a day - 
and offset v4/v6:

17 09,13,17,21     * * *   root 
/usr/local/sbin/inex-reconfigure-rs1.sh -h rs1-lan1-ipv4 -q
17 10,14,18,22     * * *   root 
/usr/local/sbin/inex-reconfigure-rs1.sh -h rs1-lan1-ipv6 -q

There's no issue running it more frequently - our cron scheduling 
predates the latest script and the latest script will only actually have 
Bird reconfigure itself if the conf changed.

We're not prescriptive on that but /usr/local/sbin is where we put it.
