    Thanks go to Kristi Keith for her response. She encountered the same
    problem, and HP told her the following:

    "Currently we are aware of the problem with security_patch_check failing
    therefore there has been a case logged to our lab to further investigate the
    issue."

    I wrote a wrapper and ran it from cron, and it was working great. Suddenly,
    I began getting errors when using security_patch_check, as demonstrated
    below:

    $/opt/sec_mgmt/spc/bin/security_patch_check -r

    We do not use a proxy server, so this is not the problem. Has anyone else
    seen this? It's puzzling to me, because like I said, it used to work just
    fine. Then it began having problems intermittently. Now, I can't get the
    script to be successful anytime.

    Dave
