From the "they didn't have that in BSD 4.2 so I didn't know about it" department,
a handy feature in Vixie cron: the
@reboot option. It means run once at restart, an
alternative to /etc/init.d for ordinary users. Vixie cron has
other useful features:
@reboot Run once, at startup. @yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *". @monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *". @weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0". @daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *". @hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *". |
