cron jobs quit after 1 minute

[Andrew Louie <louiea at gmail dot com>]

I want to set up a cron job to execute a perl script every day at 4am. I have
successfully set up the job so that it will execute the script, the only problem
is the script can take a long time to finish, as it does many different tasks.

The problem is that after about 1 minute, the script will just stop executing
when invoked from the cronjob. does anyone know how to keep the cron service
from exiting after 1 minute?

thanks

-Andrew
