I wasn't bright enough to notice that--when ever a cronjob starts to run more
than a a couple of minutes, I stop putting new stuff in the related .cfg
file, start a new cron job a minute later, with its own .cfg.

I'm now up to eight of them--yes, each of three of them share a "minute"
with another one--that seems not to matter, probably because in the mean-time
I forlifted a quicker machine under them.

But it works just fine.
