Given this is running from cron, I'd be careful about that. The lock
file is there to prevent multiple instances running; it's easy with
cron to have a process run longer than the interval between runs,
So, I'd firstly figure out why it takes longer than expected, then
decide if that's ok, and possibly adjust the crontab to increase the
interval - or fix whatever's causing it to take too long.
