>Description:
/usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics uses `fetch` in do_fetch (). however neither HTTP_TIMEOUT is set nor the -T switch is being used. if for some reason `fetch` is unable to download "http://$checkin_server/scripts/$1" the boot process won't continue until ctrl+c is being issued (which isn't possible of course if no keyboard is present e.g.).

questions is: should HTTP_TIMEOUT be honoured or not? i think it's best to use the -T switch with a value of let's say 10 seconds.

cheers.
