Take of cron reminds me of something that I've vaguely wanted for a
while. To be able to register a program as an ordinary user to be run on
system startup. It always seems a pity to have a cron regularly
scheduled for every hour or so so see if something you want to be
running constantly is still running and restart it, when you are
confident that it will never crash out itself, and will only not be
there in the case of a system reboot. An additional symbolic time name
for at would do the trick, something like
at boot + 1 hour
would be neat.
