[Gllug] Staggering cron entries

[John Hearns]

I have a dim memory at the back of my mind about
the possibility or randomly smearing cron entries in time,
for example in a large cluster you might not want all of
the nodes downloading something at exactly the same second,
or making a connection to an HTTP server - or whatever.

I Was sure this was possible, but an RTFM on vixie cron
didn't turn anything up. 
Someone please enlighten me.
