OpenBSD
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified

Please implement random values in crontab like in OpenBSD:
Cite:
A random value for a field may be obtained using the `~' character. A
value is generated every time the tab is loaded. On its own, it de-
notes a random value appropriate for the field. It can also be used in
a range to make the interval more specific. If either of the numbers
in a range are omitted, the appropriate limit (low or high) for that
field will be used. For example, both "0~30" and "~30" in the minute
field would result in a random value between 0 and 30.
