The condor_startd sends updates to the condor_collector daemon according
the value set in the UPDATE_INTERVAL macro. See:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/3_3Configuration.html#13275

The default is 300 seconds. Be careful setting it too low. See:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/3_5Startd_Policy.html#19947

You could also use the STARTD_CRON functionality to periodically run a
script that updates a database for you. See:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/3_3Configuration.html#13717

There's probably better cron information in the manual, but I couldn't
find it in the index...
