Add an additional crontab -e job for the 30 second mark as well. [resolved]

[Mark PhillipsParticipant]

Has anyone added a double entry for the processer work in crontab -e for the 30-second mark as well and noticed any additional work? Does the system take advantage of a multi-processor core?

* * * * * curl -silent -A ‘Mozilla’ ‘http://address.local/?c=1&ss_c=2481524159741ea96f56’ >/dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * (sleep 30; curl -silent -A ‘Mozilla’ ‘http://addres.local/?c=1&ss_c=2481524159741ea96f56’ >/dev/null 2>&1)

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark – there is no point to running it multiple times as the cron job will not run while it is running elsewhere. This is not the way the system works and it checks to see if the processor is still running before triggering.
