[systemd-bugs] [Bug 82084] RFE: Allow for random startup delay (or even spread) in timer units

--- Comment #3 from Marc Haber <mh+freedesktop-bugzilla at zugschlus.de> ---
This would indeed be useful as it would eliminate the need for the usual sleep
$RANDOM semantics that is used in load-generating cron jobs.

If a lot of VMs start running their cron jobs in parallel, this generates a
painful load spike on the VM host that could be mitigated by adding some
randomness. Please consider implementing this.

Greetings
Marc
