PHP kill cron

Hi all,

How can i kill a cron process at the begining of my cron task (php script):


My cron task starts evry 5 minutes,
but may work more than this time. (no timeout configured on my server for cron tasks (?).


I guess if i can stop every process of this task before starting it again.


my task looks like:
usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/mypass/cron.php

then php script cron starts...


THX for ,idears.
.
