I want to run the same workspace every x minutes. Will the server queue it or stop the one before. Sometimes the running workspace will take more time than the time allotted and I want it to queue.
Question
Will the same workspace run once every 5 minutes stop the previous?

FME Server will never stop a job, but set it in the queue.
You can actually stop a Scheduled task - if you look under Advanced you see the Queued Job Expiry time and Running job expiry time. So you can actually stop a job that has been waiting for lets say 5 minutes. And you can auto-abort a job after 3 minutes running. This is from FME2019 (or perhaps 2018?)

Yes that is correct and these settings exist much longer. Most users don't even know they exist and they are rarely used.

As a side note to this, if you didn't want the next workspace to queue, you could use the Skip Job Submission setting in 2019.1
Skip Job Submission: If checked, and Schedule Type is Repeat on Interval or CRON Expression, the next scheduled task is not triggered if the status of the previously triggered job is still Running or Queued.
