Hi,

With crontab you can start things any time or day, but not in a relative way, e.g. 5 minutes after boot run a script.

How would you do that?

Thanks!

Anacron may be what your looking for( apt-getable). IIRC, It runs all cron jobs that should have been run since the last shutdown, but haven't been run. The default setting is 5 mins after boot.


I use it and it does the job YMMV.
