Hi,

I haven't played with it too much, but you might be able to achieve
what you need with http://www.bischeck.org/ with a little tweaking of
the periods 
(http://www.bischeck.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Bischeck_configuration_guide.html#toc-Subsection-5.1.1)

If you manage to get it running with this a little documentation in
this list for any one who stumbles over it again would be nice ;).

Cheers
