And/or add a "lock" file.

Touch it at the beginning of the script and remove it at the end. If the file is still there you know the script is still running or the script failed before it completed.

I use both so if the process is gone and the file is there it alerts the Admin to a failure.

Put a wrapper around it......something like....

 

SCRIPT=blah

RUNNING=`ps -ef|egrep ${SCRIPT} | egrep -v egrep`

If [[ -n ${RUNNING} ]]

Then

           SCRIPT

fi

If I have a script scheduled via cron how do I check to see if it is
already running and therefore not run it a second time?

 

TIA, Mark
