New cron job to mark expired relationships as inactive

[torrance123]

At the moment, relationships that have an end date expire softly — there's no triggering of hook_civicrm_post() nor is the 'is_active' field on the relationship set to false.

There's a whole host of reasons why one might want to listen for expired events or being able to filter events that are expired/inactive using just the 'is_active' field (eg in Views).

Would adding a new cron that switches expired relationships to inactive (and fires appropriate hooks) be a good idea? Am happy to write the patch, but want to confirm this won't cause issues elsewhere.

yes, creating a scheduled job for this would be great. It also allows the site admin to determine if they want "expired" relationships to switch to inactive

go for it
