CXSwatch and CXS cron

Hi,
To lower load for a webhost is running the cron job necessary.
Basically I was thinking:
1. Run CXS cronjob once a week
2. Have CXSWatch run all the time.
IS this good enough? Opinions

You could also do a daily scan but adding
--ctime [hours] option like this
That would only scan files changed in the intervening hours.
The documentation says this:
--ctime [hours]
If you run regular full system scans then you can use --ctime [hours] to only scan files changed in the intervening hours. This can speed up scan times dramatically. On a daily scan we would suggest using 25 hours to ensure resources are not missed.
A weekly or monthly scan should also be run without --ctime [hours] so that all files are rescanned in case of new scanning techniques and exploit signatures and fingerprints.
This option should not be used in cxswatch.sh, cxscgi.sh or cxsftp.sh
