Hey Marushka!
Just for fun, on an 8-core 2.4Ghz cpu, two different users ran a crontab
scheduled for the exact same time that ran 'date +%s.%N' five times in
succession and then the results were combined into one file and sorted for
comparison as shown below;
1462237200.105699275
1462237200.107078415
1462237200.107140965
1462237200.108604006
1462237200.108636156
1462237200.109945137
1462237200.110019297
1462237200.111385937
1462237200.111410127
1462237200.112783078
Everyone of them is unique simply because of the added nanoseconds, although
all of them were still unique to the tens of microseconds (two dupes at 100s
of nicroseconds). milliseconds produced a number of duplications which isn't
really surprising.
Considering I am one user and it is taking minutes for me to type in this
message I am confident it is indeed unique and that I'd have to cheat to
create a duplicate extra-special %s.%N formatted timestamp.
Life is good,
Maurice
