That seems like a nonsequitor here...
Using cron to try to "make vacuums spread over 6 hours" seems to me
like an attempt to try to do that in as terrible a way possible.
that's entirely my point... what th op was proposing was a command
"VACUUM IN n HOURS"... he want to write the command... he didn't talk
about a tool for monitoring jus a tool that he "fire and forget"... at
least that was the way a read it...
