延迟 cron 任务

Question

On my server I can run cron tasks every 5 minutes. I have many clients (over 100). In my cron task I send ping to every clients' subdomain to run it's own cron tasks. I don't wait for response.

Problem is that I send ping in foreach loop and therefor server recieves many request in a single second.

Is there a way to delay/randomize those requests? I knot there is a sleep function but it blocks server and minimum value is 1 second.

Answer 1

Add a usleep call inside the loop, to add a little pause between each ping.
