I had hard requirements for randomizing cronjobs plenty of times. Once you have a large number of systems it's the default rather than the exception.

In FreeBSD see the "-J" and "-j" options to cron.

Does that add a static random delay on bootup or does it randomly delay the job each time? Because for timers you can pick that for every single timer individually.
