I picked this up online somewhere and modified to suit:
# Puppet will run twice an hour on a random schedule to spread load.
$first_run = fqdn_rand(30)
$second_run = fqdn_rand(30) + 30
cron { 'puppet_cron':
command => '/usr/bin/puppet agent --onetime --logdest syslog >
/dev/null 2>&1',
user => 'root',
minute => ["$first_run","$second_run"],
require => File['puppet_conf'],
}
Could you share how you did the random wait? I may have to switch to
> a cron job with how often my daemons are crashing and having to be
> restarted by Zabbix.
