From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx> The get_random_minute() method was created to allow maintenance schedules to be fixed to a random minute of the hour. This randomness is only intended to spread out the load from a number of clients, but each client should have an hour between each maintenance cycle. Add this random minute to the cron integration. The cron schedule specification starts with a minute indicator, which was previously inserted as the "0" string but now takes the given minute as an integer parameter.
