Hi,

I have a short question about cron which I hope somebody can answer:

Let's say I have this script which runs for a while (has to do a lot of processing).

I want to fire this script every 5 minutes.

If the script is executed at 12:00h and it is still running, will it be executed again at 12:05h? and not wait for the 12:00h to finish.
Or does it wait, and the 12:00h job finishes at 12:12h and starts the new job at 12:15h

(I'd like to know, otherwise I have to build some checking wheter or not the script might be running still. )

TIA.
