What about:

@daily sleep ${RANDOM:0:2}m ; /some/cron/job.sh

Which gives you a jitter of up to 99 minutes.

Cheers,

60 is way more than we have on our jailers. Daily / security scripts are ve=
ry disk IO intensive so we end up with changing time in /etc/crontab in eac=
h jail for periodic tasks.

The best way is to randomize these times on jail creation time.
