What if I want to execute some command (from crontab) every N
minutes, where N is between 60 and 120 ? Say, 70, 80, or 90, or like ?
Is there short way of doing it via crontab, especially
when I want to change value of N ?

Use sleep or at or a crontab that runs every 10 minutes using a file as a
counter.
