An illustration of the idea, this crontab configuration:
$ crontab -l | grep touch
*/10 * * * * touch /tmp/normal-$(date +\%s)
*/~10 * * * * touch /tmp/mixedup-$(date +\%s)
Resulted on my local machine in the following:
$ ls -lahtr /tmp/{mixedup,normal}*
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 17:46 /tmp/mixedup-1683135961
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 17:50 /tmp/normal-1683136201
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 17:56 /tmp/mixedup-1683136561
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 18:00 /tmp/normal-1683136801
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 18:06 /tmp/mixedup-1683137161
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 18:10 /tmp/normal-1683137401
-rw-r--r-- 1 job wheel 0B May 3 18:16 /tmp/mixedup-1683137761
Kind regards,
