2,17,32,47 * * * * php /path/to/script.php -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steven Barre Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 11:35 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Cron Timing Hello All I know that you can get cron to do something "every x". For example to have something run every 15 min you would do */15 * * * * php /path/to/script.php But now I have a whole bunch of these set up and having them all run at exactly the same time is causing issues. Is there any way to stagger these? Like tell it to run every 15 min + 2 min so it runs at 02, 17, 32, and 47 minutes past the hour? Or is my best bet to simply put a sleep at the start of the script with a random time?
