It does so by leveraging on bug 25109, which introduces a generic locking implementation on Koha::Script. The introduced changes: 1. Try to get the lock 2.a. If success, normal execution happens 2.b. If rejected, cronlogaction is called with a meaningful message and a normal exit happens, so we don't flood the logs in vain. --verbose will make the script print the same message on STDERR, as already is the case with this script To test: 1. Apply this patch 2. In two separate consoles run: $ kshell k$ perl misc/cronjobs/fines.pl --verbose SUCCESS => The first one runs normally, the second one exists really fast and prints a message about the lock. 3.
