      Though, not every cron supports that.

      Also, if you are packaging software, you have to do it the right way. But if not, it’s often easier to go and install an init script.

          It’s not broken. You just have to get a cron that supports it. Debian has at least one that does, but it’s not the default one.

        Just to make sure it pops off after fully starting up. I run a lot of old hardware, so it’s useful for me. You may not need a delay.

      Thanks. man 5 crontab says the @reboot syntax is supported, so I’ll give that a try if I don’t stumble upon a different solution.
