Not cron's problem. Whatever mechanism you use to prevent fumble-fingered keyboard actuators from running your thing more than once simulaneously will suffice for cron as well. -- Don't use this code for realtime control, for weapons systems, or for anything else that may put life or limb at hazard. It isn't man-rated, it isn't really thing-rated, and we don't claim that it's worth a good G*dDamn for anything at all, at all. -- Mike Andrews, on Java compilers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
