Re: problem when using shell script to checkout huge binary files (>70MB)

[Lee Fellows]

Hi Veronica,

  Have you tried the shell script from the command line, not calling
it from inside Java?  What were the results?  In calling this shell
script from java, is this an automated process (i.e., a cron job)?
If so, have you tried running the java process from the command line? 
What were the results?

  More questions then helpful suggestions, I know, but it would help
to know what your environment is telling you.  I am suspicious of a 
timeout, possibly being imposed by the java process, but your
observations can help confirm or eliminate that possibility.
