This won't work, because && forks.  You need:

   if [ -t 0 ] ; then ... ; fi

As for the subject matter, I think it's a good idea, and if periodic
always sleeps for a random amount of time, there is no need for an
additional sleep in 480.leapfile-ntpd (and frankly, I don't like that
the current version leaves a task running in the background).
