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://
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

I've changed forster to check for this every 2 days.
