There's be a cleaner way to do it, but you may be able to do something like this: ExecStart=/usr/bin/fetchmail -d $((600 + RANDOM % 1800)) (Or wrap your fetchmail call in a script if systemd doesn't like that). It won't be a predictable delay, but it should spread the load around well enough for your purposes. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
