Are you willing to share your scripts ??

I had to laugh when I read this, I am near zero in scripting skills but
these are so simple even I can manipulate them.  Someone else built these so
I can take no credit. Here are the entries I have in crontab to schedule
each shell script:

#
0-55/5 * * * * /root/test1.sh
1-56/5 * * * * /root/test2.sh
2-57/5 * * * * /root/test3.sh
3-58/5 * * * * /root/test4.sh
4-59/5 * * * * /root/test5.sh

This cyles through running one each minute.

Here is one of the shell scripts. 


#!/bin/sh

# -----> START (2)
#

/usr/local/mrtg/run/mrtg /usr/local/cfg/vandiver1.cfg 1> /dev/null 2>

/dev/null
#
# -----| END   (2)


I build individual cfg files for each machine or function and add a line to
one of the scripts.  I get a report on the CPU time used by each script (I
am not sure how that works) and move them around to balance the load.
