I am running the f-prot anti-virus update script and it was timing out half way 
through the script

it was stopping after a certain amount of time it seemed but if you ran it through the 
command line it would run properly so I though something was wrong and wrote my own 
pearl script to do the same thing with checksum and ftp as opposed to http which the 
f-prot one was written in. and it exhibits the same behavior it works correctly on the 
command line

SIGN.DEF is a duplicates!
SIGN2.DEF is a duplicates!
MACRO.DEF is a duplicates!

but when I run it through cron it exhibits the same behavior as the first scripts
I am calling the system and running the date command before it downloads the files so 
it looks like it is timing out during the file download

script. any help would be appreciated
