other shell scripts. Is there a way to wait a random number of
seconds before executing each line? Something like this.
wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script.pl) &
wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script5.pl) &
wait_random 10 - 180 (perl /scripts/my_script7.pl) &

over 2 minutes though.
