Did you consider that they might take longer than ten minutes and 
subsequent executions interfere with each other?  Depending on what 
scheduler you use the reason for the slowness could be low process priority.

It's probably a good idea to do two things: add a mechanism that will 
prevent concurrent executions of the same script and add logging.

Kind regards
