    <description>Hi,

i need to periodically check if a work queue is not empty in order to make a process start.
I can do this using schedule.

The problem is: if a process is running, and the scheduler founds that the queue is not empty, it will start a new process, so there will be two of the same type.
How can i make the schedule/process check that there is no active process before starting?

Best regards</description>
