cfengine runs every hour by default?

[cmustard]

Greetings all,

It seems cfengine is 'mysteriously' being run once an hour. (did i miss 
somehting?)
(No, there is no cron job, yes i do know that cfengine attaches itself to init 
runlevels.
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20cfexecd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20cfservd )

My understanding of cfengine was that you run cfservd on everybody (clients and 
host),
then run cfrun to tell clients to run cfagent locally and that is when clients 
will
make changes based on their update.conf file.  Yes, this is great and works 
except,

looking at the log files, it looks like cfengine is getting run on all clients
every hour, whether you run cfrun(from host) or cfagent (locally) or whatever.
(I also know about the Splay option, I'm looking for a 'NoRunEveryHour' option)

I have poked around in the source but cant seem to find the answere.

Does anyone know why it's being run every hour, did I not read a doc right 
about expected behavior?
I believe I haven't missed anything 'simple', i.e, cron, runlevels, etc,... but 
that is always a option.


Thank you.
