[chef] Re: Re: Newbie chef-client question

If I’m reading your question correctly, you’re asking about the interval 
between chef-client runs when it’s daemonized?  

This is controlled by the `interval` setting. On the command line, it’s the 
`-i` option:

  -i, --interval SECONDS Run chef-client periodically, in seconds

The default is 30 minutes, but you can adjust this according to your needs.
