Create your own 'flag'. For example, when the job finishes, the last thing it does is create a file called 'oktorun'. The first thing the job does when it starts is check for the existence of the file 'oktorun' and, if it does not exist then do nothing and terminate. If the file does exist then delete it and run the job. So the file does not exist whilst a job is running.
Anyway, if you're happy for a job to start immediately after the previous one finishes then why not get it to spawn itself (without the use of cron) ?

Hi,
I need to establish a procedure that will start an application in background each time my remote Solaris server is (re)started. This would be a kind of daemon. I am no sysadmin expert, so I am looking for pointers.
How should I proceed? What are the main steps?
Thanks,
