sentinel-nikola not running properly in TOS 5.1

The cronjob that triggers sentinel-nikola in TOS 5.1 logs errors like this to /var/log/messages

Issue is that /lib/functions/sentinel.sh is missing the line

. /lib/functions.sh

so functions like config_load and config_get can't work in the script. adding that line fixes it.
