I have a script that runs every 15 minutes but sometimes if the box is busy it hangs and the next process will start before the first one is finished creating a snowball effect.

    I had recently the same question and found from above that kill -0 is best for my case:

    echo "Starting process..."
    run-process > $OUTPUT &
    pid=$!
    echo "Process started pid=$pid"
    while true; do
        kill -0 $pid 2> /dev/null || { echo "Process exit detected"; break; }
        sleep 1
    done
    echo "Done."
