Running a cron every 30 seconds

Question

Ok so I have a cron that I need to run every 30 seconds.

Here is what I have:

*/30 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c \'cd /srv/last_song/releases/2012030813315         


        

Answer 1

Why not just adding 2 consecutive command entries, both starting at different second?

0 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /srv/last_song/releases/20120308133159 && script/rails runner -e production '\''Song.insert_latest'\'''
30 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /srv/last_song/releases/20120308133159 && script/rails runner -e production '\''Song.insert_latest'\'''
