crontab support for @reboot

[zainka]

Tried to add an @reboot section to crontab list where I call a certain php script , but it does not seem to be called at reboot as would be expected.. Any known issues or do I need to enable this functionality?

@reboot sections runs when cron server is started, regardless of time.

Any other option for running a script at reboot?

As a lot of basic command in NAS ... crond is an applet of busybox ... so incomplete and not full G.N.U.
Solutions :
1 use the possibility to add your own start_up script at boot in A.D.M.
folder /usr/local/etc/init.d (not cleared by boot)
... this script Sxxx will be executed as usual at boot time as other init script

2 install Entware APKG then cron package to add a second cron task but full G.N.U.
... new cron are started at boot using /opt/etc/init.d/S100cron script; managed using /opt/bin/crontab tool
... if you use standard Entware install ... user are same as in A.D.M.
... if you use alternative install (in fact with separate passwd / group / etc. files BUT reserved for specific usage (isolation)) take attention to access right.
