(I apologize for my previous sloppy bug report)
Well, it's in the subject. We have /etc/cron on the local disk so
cron can run when the ws is deactivated so it must make some sense
to keep /usr/lib/crontab there as well. Since cron reads crontab every
minute, cron functions do not work when the workstation is deactivated.
The link: /urvd/lib/crontab -> /site/usr/lib/crontab doesn't quite fix it.
