You can do this with rt-crontool. If you can construct a search query
that selects tickets that should be resolved then it's doable without
any additional code.

Recent RT versions have SetStatus action that take status in argument.
RT::Search::FromSQL.

There are plenty of examples on wiki. Documentation of the script is good.
