Hi,

I’m using the sensu go and want to build some cron check running every 10 seconds,  
is there a way to implement it?

As references:  
I find two ways for running a cron job based on second, does any of these is workable? If not, I’m willing to contribute to implement this feature in the source code.  
way1:  
command: “helloworld.rb”  
cron: “\* 11-17 \* \* \* (sleep 10)”  
way2:  
command: “cnt=0; while(( $cnt \< 6 )); do helloworld.rb; sleep 10; ((cnt++)); done”  
cron: "\* 11-17 \* \* \* "

Hope get your feedback and suggestion, sensu goer! Thank you!

Hi @melw

Is there any reason why you can’t use interval scheduling ([https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/checks/#interval-scheduling](https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/checks/#interval-scheduling)) with a 10 seconds interval?

Thanks!
