On the weekend an update to cron came out with this new script: /etc/cron.daily/000-delay.cron
What it appears to do is to introduce a random length of delay before cron/anacron run.
What is the point of introducing randomness into a finely tuned system?
When one sets up crontab/anacrontab to go off at precisely a certain time, one expects it to run at the time specified, and not at some random time in the next 68 minutes!
What purpose does this serve?kwhiskerz{ _________________________________________________________________ Get connected - Use your Hotmail address to sign into Windows Live Messenger now. http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
