- stevekemp 3y agoYes, I first learned this and the name "splay" from CFengine, back in the day. I put together a small busybox-like collection of sysadmin tools, and one of the subcommands is "splay" to sleep for a random amount of time. It's one of those things that is useful surprisingly often, even outside cron. https://github.com/skx/sysbox https://github.com/skx/sysbox
