Cron Job Fails to launch sucessfully

This is the message:

Tue 19:40:07 : WARNING

XSIBackup was launched from the cron file without user input
But another cron XSIBackup process is still running. Only one
XSIBackup process is allowed at a time per host. You may use
the --on-success and --on-error arguments to chain backups
This execution request will be ignored.

To my knowledge no other cron job is running. How do I address this?

Thank you

Re: Cron Job Fails to launch sucessfully

If you run tests in the console and you Ctrl+C, you may leave some process waiting.
Locate any eventually running XSIBackup process

youresxi# ps -c | grep xsibackup

And kill all XSIBackup loaded processes if you need to.

kill -9 $(ps -c | grep xsibackup | awk '{print $1}')
