Ok, I know to bind time for hourly is:

bind time - "00 * * * *" proc

and that: bind time - "* 1 * * *" proc would be at 1 on 24 hour format, but how would you set for it to be like an every 3 or 4 hour setting, or is this possible? Would it be

bind time - "* 1,4,7,10 * * *"

I thought I remembered seeing this answered in an earlier post but after searching all the pages I could not find it.

Thanks!

"bind time" is meant to execute at specific times, not random time intervals. If you want a random timer of 3 or 4 hours, use the "timer" command.
