Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm/issues/167

Originally assigned to: @wh1te909 on GitHub.

Can you please add the ability to spread the bulk/scheduled start time over a specified amount of time.
E.g. Scheduled start time is 1pm and tasks should execute randomly over the next 2 hours.

This would ease possible load issues with APIs and or network bandwidth etc.
E.g. Bulk script/commands to install software via chocolatey will trigger rate limiting thus a splay could help counteract this.

@plaxon commented on GitHub (Nov 3, 2020):

Good point. Chocolatey without a local proxy will likely cause problems with many clients on site, so a random delay would be a good idea.

For Powershell, adding something like

Start-Sleep -Seconds (Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum 90)

to the beginning of the script can be a workaround.

should merge #177 and this as essentially the same thing

This will be in the next release using windows task scheduler's repetition interval and repetition duration
