It is not the same as it will prevent multiple scripts running
concurrently in case a batch of emails takes longer that 5 minutes.
Checking if the daemon dies - I guess it's a matter of taste or
paranoia, but I don't think it's necessary when the script is
sufficiently simple:
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
<yourscript>
sleep 300
done
