You're probably better off having a one-line cron line which invokes a shell
script that runs your two different tasks sequentially (especially if the
seconds depends on the output of the first).

You can also conjoin the commands via "&&":

  grep -q WARNING /var/log/messages && echo "Warnings found!"
