Re: crontab

You're basically on it.

The "@reboot" is the when, but you're not quite there on the rest.

Unless your command is already in the path, what you wrote isn't going to
do anything.

As the example showed, you can put your command into a shell script, with
logging and other niceties, and that'll run at reboot.

Thanks,
