silently fail if already running cron job?

There are two ways you can achieve what you want:

1. Run osync target helper daemon on remote so local osync gets notified when remote file changes occur.
2. Use the following config to make sure to exit osync if another osync instance is running: LOCAL_RUN_BEFORE_CMD="ps aux | grep \"[o]sync\" || exit 0"

If those don't fit, I could still add a EXIT_IF_OSYNC_ALREADY_RUNNING parameter

I just disovered the MAX_WAIT parameter. I can run in daemon mode and use MAX_WAIT set to 300 right? I think that will do what I want.

What is an osync target helper daemon? I did not see this in the documentation.

Documentation isn't updated at the moment for v1.3RC2 which is the git master version.
osync target helper daemon is a service installed on targets in order to detect FS changes and notify initiator which will trigger a sync run.
