Issue
I have several crontab jobs that are executed every minute and I’m thinking on putting “@reboot” jobs. They are put and executed with root privileges.
So here’s what I want to know. Will these cronjobs run when system gets to login screen after rebooting? Will “@reboot” entries run after reboot without me getting logged into root?
Solution
Yes, they should run automatically as soon as the cron service gets started. The exact moment can vary depending on the cron implementation and your init system.
