https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291192 Bug ID: 291192 Summary: crontab: REQUEST feature "random values" like in OpenBSD Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: p5B2EA84B3@t-online.de Please implement random values in crontab like in OpenBSD: Cite: A random value for a field may be obtained using the `~' character. A value is generated every time the tab is loaded. On its own, it de- notes a random value appropriate for the field. It can also be used in a range to make the interval more specific. If either of the numbers in a range are omitted, the appropriate limit (low or high) for that field will be used. For example, both "0~30" and "~30" in the minute field would result in a random value between 0 and 30. https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=crontab&apropos=0&sektion=5&manpath=OpenBSD+7.8&arch=default&format=html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
