The lowest interval for crontab is a minute ...

You are seeing "1" second logged because that is the time it took
for your script to start executing and that execution get logged.

Your crons are actually firing off correctly based on what you quoted.

If it takes 1 second for your script to run, you need to run it 1 second early ...

Subtract 1 minute from the scheduled running time ...

Put in a "sleep 58" or "sleep 59" line in the top of your cron script
to have it wait almost a full minute before continuing processing
and you may have to play around with it a bit, but you may be
able to time it such that your script finishes running at the
exact time that you want.
