Is it possible to set up a cron to run at random hours & minutes both?

[GalenTive]

Hello,

Is there any tutorial about how to configure CRON to run commands randomly in both hours and minutes? (i.e if the first job runs at 02:20, the second job should run at 04:50 and the third one at 07:02 and so on)

Any suggestions on the best way to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

I do think you could need a script that could do this. You need a bash script that randomizes the run times. this may help you.

You would need a script for doing this at random.
