Nope, cron only wakes up every 59 seconds. I'm going to suggest the
obvious here in that you really shouldn't need to restart a program every
45 seconds, just have the program run in a loop, sleep 45 then exec. It
would probally be more friendly to the processor as the loop would be
tighter than restarting the app with cron.
