Tilde for random value in a range
MrMikeJJ opened this issue · comments
The crontab man page references using a tilde for randomness, with the random value picked when parsing happens.
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html
Randomization of the execution time within a range can be used. A random number within a range specified as two numbers separated with a tilde is picked. The specified range is inclusive. For example, 6~15 for a 'minutes' entry picks a random minute within 6 to 15 range. The random number is picked when crontab file is parsed. The first number must be less than or equal to the second one. You might omit one or both of the numbers specifying the range. For example, ~ for a 'minutes' entry picks a random minute within 0 to 59 range.
It would be nice if NCrontab supported this feature.
