Just to bring this back up, you can use a mix of shell programming and
Cronjobs. For example, run your job like so;
*/1 * * * * script.sh
and have the script do some process checking:
#! /bin/sh
if [ $(ps aux | grep script.sh | grep -v grep) ]; then
<your script here>
That will make sure it runs every minute, without overlapping itself.
When I write code that needs to be run a preset amount of time, I
generally try to find a way to use Cron -- why recreate what is already
available?
