You could, in the script from cron: 1 - check for the presence of rows in a 'alive_scripts_table' if any , then exit, and go for the next run, alternativly, check that pid in 'ps -ef' so there actually is a script running 2 - create a record in a table, ie insert your pid into a alive_script_table, 3- do your thing 4 - delete your row from the alive_script_table or use above with a file instead or just check with ps/tasklist/wmic -- /Björn
