Full Discussion: how to cancel a cronjob if the cronjob still running

Hi,
One way I can think of is to put a check on the script that runs as a part of crontab. Whatever you want to do with the script you do after a check that if any command of similar name is still running. example: lets say if you are running /home/user/script.sh every one minute, then add a check
Code:
ps -ef | grep "script.sh" | grep -v grep

on your script.sh in the beginning

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
