Occasionally if the job is not finished in five minutes another instance of the same job will start executing by cron tab, which will make it tougher for the first job to finish and ending up queuing up of multiple jobs working on the same shared resources. So is it possible to schedule a cron tab in such a manner that it will check if the an instance of same job is already running do not start a new job. Thanks, Jitesh Hi,
