Well, this is anything but elegant, but if your daily occurs at an exact hour and minute you could write two series of per minute cron jobs (a "before' and an "after") avoiding that minute.

EL6 context: cronie-1.4.4-16.el6_8.2.x86_64 cronie-anacron-1.4.4-16.el6_8.2.x86_64 crontabs-1.10-33.el6.noarch

I have some cron.d entries that execute scripts in minute intervals and I'm wondering how could an "official" way look like, to have a condition to not run cron.d entries when cron.daily scripts are running. Sure, I can hack something around file timestamps or so but that feels not so streamlined ...

I'd really appreciate any ideas ...
