Well kind-of... I use the script below to keep PPP up during certain free-
call hours.  Just change the PPP process name to radiusd:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

$PPPcommand="ppp -auto bogo";

open( InPipe, "ps -xa|");

# make sure PPP isn't running
for( <InPipe> ) {
	$thisProc = $_;
	$thisProc =~ /([0-9]+).+\b[0-9]+\b\s(.*)$/;
	# $1 is PID;  $2 is process name
	$PID = $1;   $NAME=$2;

	if( "$NAME" eq "$PPPcommand" ) {
		exit;
		}
}

close (InPipe);

# OK - PPP not running - so start it and restart socks
system($PPPcommand);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
