Depending on the need this will certainly do the trick quite easily.

bgp neighbor max-prefix makes this a lot easier to do now. As soon as you
go over 75% of the threshold set, the router sends messages to syslog. And
it will optionally tear the peering down once you hit the threshold you
set. I know a lot of folks monitor syslog for strange events, so adding a
monitor for the BGP threshold would be easy enough to do. Better than cron
logging into the router every 5/15/60 minutes...
