09:16.21gregj-ukis there anyway you can let crontab know, that you want only one instance of a job running at a time ?
09:17.04gregj-uksay, I have something that  is issued every 5 minutes, but once in a while that task will take loner than 5 mins, I want the next one to be either canceled, or queued
09:18.40morsingsabinef72!
09:19.13morsinggregj-uk: Tell the script to check for a lock file
09:19.42gregj-ukwell, that's exactly wat I am trying to avoid. So far, its been done that way, and I don't like it.
09:20.10gregj-ukI would like crontab to be smart enough and have such an option
09:21.33morsingIt can't
09:23.52gregj-ukwell, time to write some tool that would be locking any taks, or find something that protecs against overruns
