Need help in skipping cronjob when already scripts for previous cronjob are running

I have written a cron job as given below

var cron = require('node-cron');
var taskMap = {};
let job = cron.schedule('*/1 * * * * ', ()=>{
var shell = require('./utils/child_helper');

var commandList = [
"node *****",
"node *****",
"node ******"
]

shell.series(commandList , function(err,res){
// console.log('executed many commands in a row');
console.log('done')
});
});

which need to run on every 1 min but the scripts inside the cron may take more than 1 min.
I need to skip the cron for the moment when the scripts are still running .
Can anyone help me on it.

Calling cron from app.js as below code

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var port = 3000;
require('./cronController').job.start();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.listen(port , ()=>{
let dateTime = new Date();
let message = 'Server is running on Port :- ' + port + ' started at :- ' + dateTime;
console.log(message);
});

Misspelling

//exceute every 2:30am morning
// cron.schedule('30 2 * * *', function(){
// console.log('running a task every two minutes');
// });

//exceute every 1 min

exceute --> execute
