Polling once a minute is much too often, though! The daemon (even if
it's crond) should get told, possibly over DBUS, when a scheduled
event is added. It then recalculates its sleep time, and goes back to
sleep until the next currently known event is due.

Looking at the source to atd(8), this is what it seems to do.

Cheers,

Andrew
