All, Wondering what the best approach would be to the following.
I have a script which copies files and sends mail notification appropriately. I want the script to check for new source files every 15 mins, however when there are new files, the operation will take long enough to the point where a second instance of the script will start while the first is still executing - obviously I don't want two copies running simultaneously. My first thought would be to create a dummy file upon start and if this exists, a second instance wouldn't begin, then deleting the file when the operation is complete. Is there a better way of doing this? Many thanks, Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
