Use lockfiles. Before any job starts, make sure it checks for a lockfile. If the file exists, exit. If it does not, have it create the lockfile and proceed to do its actual job. At the end, remove the lockfile.
If you have two jobs and one lockfile, you'll get only one job running at any given time.
