Clarify random_sleep documentation #34
Comments
Something like this could be valid or is too long? Random intervall of time (in seconds) that the apt cron job sleeps before the execution. The purpose is to avoid that servers/mirrors get hammered at exactly the same time when a lot of machines are switched on, e.g. 9:00 in the morning. If you don't specify any value, debian/ubuntu use 1800 seconds by default. |

PR #33 introduced a new option that can use some better phrasing in the README docs.
