I have a script file in my cron.hourly that contains a good number of scripts I must call.
#!/bin/sh
sleep 15 perl /scripts/create_graph.pl &
sleep 15 perl /scripts/create_graph_out.pl &
many more lines. etc.
Is there a way I can sleep random length to time before executing each but background each one so master script returns promptly. Something like.
