[j-nsp] Centralized scripts and copying to redundant routing-engines..

[Chris Evans]

After I sent this I just remembered how to copy files between EX devices..
Use 'fpc#" instead of "re#"..

So I'm going to come out and say this as I'm irritated.. Scripts are used to
automate tasks, I can configure a centralized server for the active RE, yet
I have to manually copy it to the backup RE.. What a sham. 10 Devices, this
would be easy to manage, but thousands?? Come on!

I've sent my SE a request to research how Juniper recommends this, if there
is no elegant solution I'm putting in an ER to just get something like rsync
setup to replicate the directories.
