Arghh.. ;-) sleep $seconds here

Anyway, you get the idea.

#!/bin/sh
remaining=$1;shift
cmd=$@
lock=/var/run/$(basename $1).lock
[ -f $lock ] || {
  touch $lock
  while [ $remaining -gt 0 ]; do
    seconds=$(($RANDOM % $remaining))
    echo $(date) $seconds >> $lock
    sleep $seconds
    $cmd && return || remaining=$(($remaining - $seconds))
  done
  rm $lock
}
