Timing file checks

In the Misc section of the configuration file, you can set the interval (in seconds) between succesive file checks:

SetFilecheckTime=value

Alternatively, you can specify a crontab-like schedule with:

FileCheckScheduleOne=schedule

The schedule follows the same rules as crontab(5) entries, with two noteable exceptions: (a) lists are not allowed, and (b) ranges of names (like Mon-Fri) are allowed. See man 5 crontab for details.

Using a second schedule

If you want to check some files rather often, while doing a more extensive check only sometimes, this is supported as follows:

This will check all files / directories defined in the config file at schedule2, while directories outside the %SCHEDULE_TWO block, as well as all single files, will be checked at the normal schedule as well.
