sorry.. I missed one thing..
This is the right condition line:
ps -ef | grep $0 | grep -v $$ | grep -v grep | grep $0

I think your question is more related to unix than perl.
Try something like this in shell script :
program=$0
while ps -ef | grep $0 | grep -v grep | grep $$
do
sleep 10
done
or in perl
$program=$0;
while ( `ps -ef | grep $0 | grep -v grep | grep $$` ) {
sleep 10 ;
}
** I did not check the stuff... ***

Subject: Check if another script running
Hello,
I need to setup a cronjob to run a script every 2hrs, but if another particular
script(executed via a standard web form), on the same machine, is being
executed, I want the cron script "wait" or "sleep();" till the other script is
finished.
Is this possible to do and how is the best way to accomplish this task. :)
TIA
