It runs by default according to the value of the runinterval configuration 
option (see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html). 
By default this is every 30 minutes when daemonized.

Restarting the agent resets the runinterval to zero.

Yes. Resets to zero.

The runinterval option.

I would suggest that this is a question better asked on the mailing list.

Bug #11407: How does puppet agent calculate the time to check in?

Can we please get some documentation for how puppet calculates the time to 
check in?  Is it:

* Is the timing information stored in a file somewhere?
* Can we run a command to find out when the next check time will be?
* Run shortly after startup and every 30 minutes after that?
* Run 30 minutes after the last run started?
* Run 30 minutes after the last run completed?

Can we influence this in any way?

# Does stopping and starting the agent restart the timer, or will it keep the 
same time across restarts?
# Does running puppet agent --onetime affect the timer?
# Is there anything else we can do (besides 'splay') to influence the timer on 
a system?
