Bug Description

Every once in a while the cronscript scheduled to update our CVE entries fails to retrieve the CVE database.
The error looks like:

06:26:50 ERROR Unable to connect for CVE database
http://cve.mitre.org/cve/downloads/allitems.xml.gz

This seems like a transient network failure, which causes our script monitoring system to report those errors to the internal mailing list .

SteveA suggested the following approach:

 - schedule the script to run twice a day

or

 - check that the script has run successfully once every two days
