Dear list, I am trying to run a cron job, starting once every two hours and at random minute in the half our of that cron scheme: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/etc 0~30 */2 * * * root /root/cronjobs/run_myjob Unfortunately it is running exactly on the hour instead of random between 0-30 minutes. Can you pls advice how to make this work? Thanks Jos Chrispijn
