I have run log_badlogins from the command line and it does work. I was
just wondering where the best place to run the script is from. it should
always be running so a cron job is not necessary. should i just have it
run when the radius server starts up?
Thanks,

If you're on a RedHat-ish system, the attached startup script might work
for you.  It's a quick hack based on the FreeRADIUS startup script.

I see on re-reading it that it doesn't source
/etc/sysconfig/failed_logins, so you will have to hand-edit it to change
the path to your dialup_admin installation.
