What happens (and does it even matter) if cron ends up running two Rsync processes at the same time?
by wh33t from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CAPP)
So I've got an rsync cronjob that runs every 4 hours, I want to reduce this duration to 5m.
But it got me curious what would happen if cron triggered the rsync job while the previous one that was started 5m ago was still running.
It won't be very often that there is enough data to transfer that it can't be done in 5m but I'm sure it will happen.
Tips?
