According to man(5) in SUSE 10, a crontab @reboot entry is supposed to run, when the computer boots. However, I can't seem to get it to do anything. Is there something I'm missing? Is there some magic incantation that I have to say?

How does this particular line look like in /etc/crontab? Is crond running? Did you specify user root? You can test the entry with
@reboot root echo "My @reboot entry is working" >> /var/log/messages

Your example showed the problem. I forgot to include "root" in the command. tnx
