Comment (by Sebastian):

 Many regularly running cronjobs employ locking if parallel execution is a
 concern. Your machine might always have a clock jump, a high load or some
 other condition preventing orderly execution otherwise. If onionoo is
 prone to dying (which apparently happened here), you'd want a watchdog to
 do the email sending bits in a different process anyway, rather than
 increase the lifetime of the onionoo process?
