Cronjob Activation

Hi All,

I have set a cronjob to run a script at a frequency of 10 mins.
However, if the script takes more than 10 mins to complete, how will the cronjob behaves?
1) Does it ignore the current process and restart the whole process again?
2) Or does it stop to trigger the script again unless previous process has been completed?
