My answer to this would be, "no".
Due to various reasons, it is not desirable to run my client more
than once every hour. Therefore, the msgs check for log files is
almost useless unless I change these values (and honestly, I'm not
even sure that would work as I haven't seen if this would impact
anything else). If I ran my client every hour, I would lose 50% of
my log data.
I would like to see where the log check would be dependent on how
long of an interval your client is run as opposed to a hard coded
30 minutes.
I personally have no need for this change at the moment, but I agree
that no it's not OK for them to be hardcoded. Seems to be an easy
enough change to make and there's virtually no benefit (that I can
think of) to hard coding.
