usr.sbin/cron/cron cron.8 cron.c cron.h do_command.c
Log:
Add two new options to cron(8), -J and -j. They allow to specify
the maximum amount of time jitter for root and other users, respectively.
Before starting a job, cron(8) will sleep a random number of seconds,
from 0 to the amount specified. This can help to smooth down load spikes
when a lot of jobs are to start at the beginning of a particular minute
(e.g., the first minute of an hour.)
