failing cron job

I have a cron job that is not longer being able to complete. I get a message (configserver) that calls it a suspicious process. That's probably happening because the job had been running for 95 seconds which is no question more time than it should take. The job is a perl script that reaches out to another server to pull information. This is the command line mentioned in the email which is also at the point where it is reaching out to the other server. /usr/bin/wget -nd -A *scores.html -np -r -P/home/domain/public_html/.temp/

  In order to troubleshoot this, there are multiple steps you can take. Just to stop the warnings, I would recommend you whitelist the process by following the guide I linked below. I would recommend you start by checking /var/log/cron to see if there are any errors while running the cron job. Then I would run the process manually in the command line to ensure that it is working correctly. These two steps should definitely be able to determine why the cron job is no longer executing.

  Hello :) Are you able to run that command on it's own without issue? Is the file you are downloading still available to the public? Thank you.
