Only start new Crom-Job if older job's where finished

[PascalTurbo]

Hi There,

tried to reach you by contact but there's no EMail adresse.

So here's my question: Is there a way to tell crom, only to start a new job when the last job finishes?

Let's say there is a task every 15min - but the task need's to run 20min (because of network issues or something else) - now crom would start the task again when the old one isn't finished yet.
I run in to this problem because of executing external (non rails) code.

Thanks for your help
Pascal

Good point. I'll try to find a way to keep daemon running as long as jobs are pending.
I don't have much free time lately though, so I can't promise anything.
