this is interesting situation and as far as I know unix have some remedies to protect overlapping cronjobs. Check this :

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90682/queuedefs.4.html

and recommend this one:

I'm not sure why you mention crontab and init in the same question?

If you want to order the two, you should fiddle with the times.

lets see,

you've got 2 unnamed users,
possibly admin or normal user so you might have a mix???

running an init command out of cron? at the same time?

I think you broke my crystal ball...
