Feeling particularly anal the other day, I used the following specification to
run statspack at the top of the hour, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the hour.

variable jobno number;
variable instno number;
begin

        select instance_number into :instno from v$instance; 
        dbms_job.submit( 
                :jobno 
                , 'statspack.snap;' 
                -- every 15 minutes at 00,15,30 and 45 
                , trunc(sysdate,'hh24') +  ( ( 15 + ( 15 * 
floor(to_number(to_char(sysdate,'mi')) / 15))) / ( 24 * 60 )) 
                , 'trunc(sysdate,''hh24'') +  ( ( 15 + ( 15 * 
floor(to_number(to_char(sysdate,''mi'')) / 15))) / ( 24 * 60 ))' 
        ); 
        commit;

end;
/

Seems to me that the time specs could be simplified a bit. Anyone care to give it a go? :)
