Parallel Background Jobs

Hi All,

I'm planning to schedule a background job which will be executed every 5 minutes. Most of the time its execution is less than 10 seconds each time. But sometimes its execution can be longer than 5 minutes. So is it likely that the second job is started before the first job is finished? That is, is it possible that more than one instance of such a program is executed in parallel?

Thanks, Jerome
