Just specify a time that's not on a even hour . . . is that not working
properly or something?
Read the man page on crontab(8), it has examples like these:
23 0-23/2 * * * echo "run 23 minutes after midn, 2am, 4am ...,
everyday"
5 4 * * sun echo "run at 5 after 4 every sunday"
Of course I don't have a clue whta "Oanacron" or "cron.hourly" are, but
if you do things the old-fashioned way, there's as much flexibility as
you could possibly hope for.
