Paul,
What I did was to use DefineClasses in the editfiles section. this sets
the class only if the file is edited..
eg..
linux::
{ /etc/ssh/sshd_config
ReplaceAll "#Banner /some/path" With "Banner
/etc/issue"
DefineClasses "HUPsshd"
}
shellcommands:
linux.HUPsshd::
"/sbin/service sshd restart" useshell=false
this would only run the shellcommands if the class is defined, and that
only happens if the file is edited. you could then add the
time.class.hup doo-hickie and all should be well..
hth.

How can I tell a process to restart only if a certain file has changed?
We just changed the way our login banners are supposed to occur.
Before, they appeared prior to login, so I could just use the
sshd_config file and specify an banner in the file. Now, I need
to present the banner after login. In order to do this, I need to
restart sshd. But, I don't want to restart sshd during the
middle of the day or when the sshd_config file hasn't changed.
