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!

You could create a bootscript that uses the "at" command, like so;
/etc/init.d/mybootinit:
echo myscript | at now + 5 minutes
Of course you'd use update-rc.d to set the runlevels you want
mybootinit to start in.
You could also use cron to do that:
@reboot echo myscript | at now + 5 minutes
(Untested, so no guarantees :-)
