you can use application controller helper before_filter

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :check_expire

  def check_expire
    UrlLink.active.where('expire_time <= ?' Time.now).find_each do |url|
      url.deactive!
    end if UrlLink.active.any?
  end
end

model

class UrlLink < AB
  scope :active, -> { where(active: true) }

  def deactive!
    update(active: false)
  end
end

but this work slow if you have large db.
