The manual section that covers this is here:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/3_3Configuration.html#8752

Below, I've pasted an example of how I happen to be using this "startd 
cron job" feature.  The following lines may be placed in condor_config 
or in the local config file.  Some of the lines are long, so they might 
wrap around on your screen:

#Start with an empty list of cron jobs
STARTD_CRON_JOBS =

#Run some machine tests every 24 hours
STARTD_CRON_JOBS = $(STARTD_CRON_JOBS) 
test_machine::/afs/hep.wisc.edu/cms/sw/test_machine/bin/test_machine_hawkeye:24h
STARTD_CRON_test_machine_ARGS = /var/condor/test_machine

#Every 10 minutes, check that AFS is available.
STARTD_CRON_JOBS = $(STARTD_CRON_JOBS) has_afs::/condor/sbin/has_afs:10m
STARTD_CRON_has_afs_ARGS = hep.wisc.edu

#Every 30 minutes, publish some info about the OS installation.
STARTD_CRON_JOBS = $(STARTD_CRON_JOBS) 
os_info::/afs/hep.wisc.edu/cms/sw/hawkeye/os_info/os_info:30m


Here's an example of the sort of output produced by the scripts (in this 
case, os_info):

OSRedHatRelease = "Scientific Linux SL Release 3.0.4 (SL)"
OSIssue = "Scientific Linux SL Release 3.0.4 (SL)"
OSKernelRelease = "2.4.21-27.0.2.EL"
OSlibc6 = "libc-2.3.2.so"
OSglibc_major = 2
OSglibc_minor = 3
OSglibc_micro = 3
