Daemons in Cron !!!

I have few difference of opinion with that.

Daemons are supposed to be individual entities without any dependency. Since a constant monitoring would increase the load on the system drastically a daemon is designed to switch state from Running to Sleep (not this alone)

If daemons are scheduled in cron, dependency is bundled to the daemon script such a way that only if the cron daemon is running we have the critical daemon script to be scheduled and start running, which I think is not an appropriate way of doing it.

It will not be a daemon anymore. Just a script which does whatever it has to do, every 10 or so minutes.
