Maybe my explanation was bad, what you have is this: 1. Start of "cron like" service for getting updates/whatever. 2. Run of "cron like" service. 3. sleep for 1 hour, then goto #2. ...here we want #1 to have a random-ish start, but the 2<=>3 loop to be on a simple 1 hour cycle. Yum -R is great, and used by yum-cron, but there's no good way to get the above behaviour with it (doing yum -R 60 every hour means you can have almost a 2 hour window between runs).
Then you have the first run be random, and it marks when it last ran and spaces them out for the rest of the time 1 hour later, each.
