I fixed the bug here. Basically, I'd like this cronjob to run once per hour, at a regular interval, on every client that installs this package. However, I'd like to spread the load evenly on the entropy server, so that every single client doesn't hit the server at the same minute. So at package installation time (postinst), I'd like this particular install of the client to randomly choose the minute upon which it runs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246098 Title: MIR: pollinate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pollen/+bug/1246098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
