I use potato on a laptop and my laptop is on only when i'm using it. When I start, cron launches various task (too many at the same time) and take a big part of the CPU.
It's crazy : you turn your computer 2 minutes on (you do near nothing), cron works. After a night you turn on your laptop another time (no big changes has occured during the last session) and cron restart everything. Is there a way to better configure cron for a laptop usage? - limit CPU usage ? - start daily script only after an amount of cumulled (i'm not sure it's an english word, i mean the sum of previous uptime) uptime.
