have a "cron" utility
a process that has a list (records, array, whatever) of all processes
that are deamons
have it wake the deamon as appropriate using Call process.
All deamons use Pause Process, rather then delay to sleep.
ex:
Cron:
Repeat
Process count := number of processes to manage
for($i;Process count)
if (time_to_wake_process($i))
call process (Deamon_Process_IDs{$i}
end if
end for
delay process current process, 1 minute, or whatever)
until(Quit4D)
