[mrtg] Re: Newbie question

I'm not sure if this will serve as evidence of my efficiency or my laziness, but
when running multiple config files through cron I found that using lines such as:

*/5 * * * * <program> <config>  # every five minutes
*/10 * * * * <program> <config>  # every ten minutes
*/10+5 * * * * <program> <config> # every ten minutes offset by five minutes ( =
5,15,25,35,45,55 )

made my crontabs easier to read, and gave me a few more seconds to work on more
important things.  =)
