Here's a crude hack:

Craigslist_test.sh
...............................................................
#!/bin/bash

run=1
while [ $run -le N ]
## where N is approximately the run time (hours) ##
do
   echo "run $run starting at `date +%F_%H-%M`"
   for CLURL in $(cat ~/Craigslist_URLs)
   ## don't include "http://" in URLs ##
   do
      NOW=`date +%F_%H-%M`
      echo "   dump IP Chicken at $NOW"
      links2 -g -dump http://ipchicken.com/ > ~/dumps/IP-$NOW &
      NOW=`date +%F_%H-%M`
      echo "   dump Craigslist URL http://$CLURL at $NOW"
      links2 -g -dump http://$CLURL > ~/dumps/$CLURL-$NOW &
      sleep $[($RANDOM % 5)+5]m
   done
   sleep $[($RANDOM % 60)+30]m
   let "run+=1"
done
exit 0
