I have an action that calls a function which takes about 20 seconds to complete (uploading file to remote server). How can I code it in such a way so that it could check if WP cron is running the same action?

I'm trying to prevent double run.

    You might want something like a lock. Could be a single option field, that you set to true BEFORE you start the long-lasting action and to false after you finish / certain time, where you expect to be a timeout have happened.

  • I found doing_action (developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/doing_action) but when I use it, it doesn't seem to run my code. I'm doing a simple call like if ( !doing_action( 'my_upload' ) ) { //Run code }
