RE: [PHP] Is CRON'd PHP script already running?
i'm sure there are more elegant solutions, but you could control the running
of your php script via a perl script called by cronin perl check to see
if the process is already running, and if so exit, else start it

Subject: [PHP] Is CRON'd PHP script already running?
Hi All,
I have a PHP script that i want to run every few minutes (via cron) but I
only want it to run if it isn't already running.
Is there something in cron itself to solve this or is there a way within PHP
to detect that another instance of the current script is running and if so
exit the new instance before it does anything...
eg. I could have a function to use like so:
if (already_running($SCRIPT_NAME)) {
exit();
}
Thanks in advance!
Simon

in a shell wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
mkdir $HOME/LCK.script /dev/null 21 || exit 1;
... do_yer_thang
rmdir $HOME/LCK.script
