I know that I can have something run every five minutes in cron with a line like:

 */5 * * * * /my/script

What if I don't want it running at 12:00, 12:05, 12:10, but rather at 12:01, 12:06, 12:11, etc? I guess I can do this:

 1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * * /my/script

...but that's ugly. Is there a more elegant way to do it?

linux unix cron system-administration
