Single Cron

Hi there everyone. So my host doesn't allow crons more then every 15 minutes I need to do every 10 minutes.

So i was thinking of using sleep. Would this count as a single cron?:
Code:
php -qf /home/blah.php; sleep 600; php -qf /home/blah.php;
Do you think I can get away with that?

My other idea was to make blah.php handle it:
Increase the timeout limit to 10 minutes. Then run it once sleep 10 minutes then call the function again then end.


Which way do you think would be lowest concern to host?
