For this I would use a recursive approach with «send in time» something like
this:
on openStack
checkTime
end openStack
on checkTime
## Do your routines of checking time, performing the required action etc.
send checkTime to me in 300 seconds. ## you set the interval to whatever is
best for you
end checkTime
Best regards
