Marko Myllynen f819908d41 Add maximum wait time limit to cron checks
Update checks from cron were using sleep 21332 to avoid hammering the
servers which is indeed very useful feature. However, those wait times
were easily several hours so a user might well shut down the system
before any checking is done. This patch allows defining maximum wait
time limit for the cron script, defaulting to one hour. Using the
default clients now will wait 1 - 3600 seconds before contacting the
servers
