I guess if you really just want to:
	"update this entries after a certain time has pass"

Then that's easy enough with a simple update query, however it's generally a bad idea to just close out sessions because they've run on too long. Unless of course you don't care about the accuracy of your accounting database.

If your NAS supports interim updates, you can add an additional field to the accounting database, and update the timestamp in this field every time an interim update packet is received. Then run a cron job to check for timestamps which are older than the interim update period and close those entries.
