getting 'processes:' to fire signals

[Chip Seraphine]

I'm finding that my 'processes:' section does not send specified signals 
as often as I think it should.   The signals are sent once in a while 
(every few hours, apparently), but to ensure them being sent it seems 
that I need to use the -K flag.  Cfrun seems to ignore the -K option 
(when running with "cfrun -- -K"), so that is not a practical workaround 
for my environment (which uses cfrun to instead of cfexecd).    

Running at -d2 shows that cfagent simply doesn't want to send the 
signals: "Nothing scheduled for processes.allprocs (0/1 minutes elapsed)".

What is the mechanism that causes this behavior?  How can I manipulate 
it to make cfengine more willing to send signals?  This is causing me a 
lot of grief (things like daemons not being hupped after their config 
files are tweaked).

FWIW, I have my ExpireAfter   set to 55; it doesn't seem to matter 
wether the cfagent is run out of cfservd, cron, or by hand.
