Locking using Cron

I have searched and read all posts that have to do with "Locked" sites

I use cron to start the spider. After awhile of spidering it locks a site and the spider stops. After unlocking the site the spider does not restart unless I catch it just as soon as it happens.
Probably sounds familiar as most posts have said that I read.
As a note: The host I am on is not limiting anything and is very dependable.


1. What are the list of reasons that a site is locked?
2. How much time is alotted betweeen the time a site is locked and when the spider will quit trying? I haveto ask this since the spider doesn't seem to start back up on it's own after a certain amount of time. This will also help if I need to write some custom addition to unlock a site automatically.
3. Am I going to have the same problem when a scheduled update is done in a week or month from now with sites locking?

Just trying to automate a solution so it's not a manual problem.
Most posts talked about spidering with the admin page. I don't use the admin to spider. I only use cron.
