I run several programs upon reboot also. However, I never use "bash" as
part of the command.

Assuming you have the correct "shebang" in th script, you could just use

	@reboot /root/cronjobs/reboot.sh &

However, I am not sure you need the "&". All cron jobs are run in the
background. You might check out this URL:

	https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto

I would make sure you have the right 'shebang' in the script then
remove both 'bash' and the '&' from the command line and see what
transpires. You could also experiment with adding "&> /dev/null" sans
the quotation marks to the end of the command. By the way, you did make
sure that the script is executable, I assume.
