Does Sugar Scheduler prevent duplicate jobs runing

Question

Does anyone know if Sugar Scheduler has the ability to prevent duplicate jobs from running ?

If I set a job to run "as often as possible" and that job happens to take more time to run than usual, is the Sugar Scheduler smart enough to start the next run only if the current one has completed ?

I am using SugarCRM Enterprise version 6.5.

Thanks,

Stella

Yes, it prevents.

When a scheduler job starts running, Sugar creates an entry in the database (see job_queue table) with the information regarding the scheduler job (scheduler_id), status, resolution and other information.

While there is a scheduler job with the status 'running' Sugar will not start a new scheduler with the same job, only when it's done.

Hope this helps.
