every *second* from cron?  how the heck would I you do that?  sub-minute 
accuracy from cron is something I don't know how to do.

Maybe it's a different version of cron...?

The only way I would achieve that would be to run something every minute 
that self-perpetuated for the rest of that minute... 

for x in `seq 1 58`; 
do
 ( DATE=$(date +%F-%H-%M-%S)
   COUNT=$(sudo /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "sip show channels" | wc -l)
   echo $DATE $COUNT >>/tmp/channel-counts
 ) &
 sleep 1s
done

which is honestly very messy.

I promise I'm not being sarcastic.  I actually *am* curious if there are versions of cron that will go sub-minute.
