#clustered env to run with cron:

1.) create on cluster resource/volume new path structure:
e.g.  '/media/nss/DATA/system'
|-- etc
|   |-- cron.d
|   `-- sysconfig
|-- tmp
|-- usr
|   `-- local
|       `-- sbin
`-- var
    `-- spool
        `-- tmp

2.) put files in folders...
|-- etc
|   |-- cron.d
|       `-- read_nss_rights_to_folder      #file 1 with crontab entry #
|   `-- sysconfig
|        `-- read_nss_rights_to_folder     #file 2 with variable for file3#
|-- tmp
|-- usr
|   `-- local
|       `-- sbin
|            `-- read_nss_rights_to_folder  #file 3 script#
`-- var
    `-- spool
        `-- tmp

3.) modify cluster resource, load/unload script :
#load script
