It will execute at 10:10:40 AM but do not know how to
execute 15 second,30 second so on at 10:10 am.

Answer Posted / damodar

You cannot schedule a every-second cronjob. Because in cron
the minimum unit you can specify is minute. In a typical
scenario, there is no reason for most of us to run any job
every second in the system
