 The problem is that a later run of run_jobs() will not see the
job_begun has been set by a prior run (that is unfinished - as all
queries from the plpgsql-function runs in a single, huge transaction).


My intitial idea was to set the isolation level to "read uncommitted"
while doing the is-somebody-else-running-lookup, but I cannot change
that in the plpgsql function (it complains that the session has to be
empty - even when I have run nothing before it).

 Any ideas on how to solve the issue?

Add a sort of status table where you insert your unique job identifer at the start of the function and remove it in the end? As seperate transactions of course.
