Cron Jobs
I'm trying to run cron jobs to start any inhibited processes after a system reboot.

I can schedule th cron, but i'm confused as to how to incorporated the reboot, since reboot is scheduled at different times, once every month.
How can I write this to start every 15 min after after a reboot

Thanks
Remi

It depends on which cron daemon you use as not all support this. I know vixie-cron allows scheduling jobs at reboot and you could put the 15 minute sleep into your script which restarts these processes, I'm not too sure about other crons.

Write a script that checks the current time, sleeps for 15minutes and then starts the processes, then save it in /etc/rc3.d/S99sleepingjob

Each time the server reboots it will run this script.
