The code above merely corresponds to a certain usage case of krenew.

The choice of how to periodically run clog is of course up to you.
Different ways may better suit different scenarios.

Refreshing credentials of a user without any administrative rights over
the computer and possibly even without a right to run cron jobs is not
the same as e.g. allowing persistent service daemons access data on Coda.

Just in case, note that clog shall be run as the uid which is to have the
Coda credentials (in case you would like to put clog in root's crontab).
