Please no, it should be opt-in. Having it randomly add a jitter of up to a minute would be confusing. > Also, maybe we want the jitter range width to be linear or logarithmic > to the specified precision of the time event?

This is usually to prevent load spikes on other hosts, at least how I use it. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
