Well, wouldn't it be better to enhance cron so that you could write: x x * * * user script to run it once per day, or x x/6 * * * user script to run it 6 times per day, both at random times? (x means: at a random time, and x/n means n times per (whatever) with a random starting point. Random times are determined at starting time.)
