[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Example Crontab patch

[Thomas Berezansky]

After the Massachusetts Library Network Cooperative training session I  
took a look at the example crontab file, and thought about the  
"Restarting services" part of the session.

In particular, the "Disable any cron jobs ('crontab -u opensrf -e' -  
comment out the lines)" part.

Attached is a small patch to make that a lot easier and safer to  
accomplish, as well as giving a way for nagios or similar to easily  
check if they are disabled. Incidentally inspired from the "wait until  
the system has been up for five minutes" variant crontab Don showed us  
from the test system.
