Hi, On 2011-11-25 08:02, Jason Hellenthal wrote: > So with that said... is there a way we could actually make this run @reboot only ? Debian's cron[0] and Fedora's cronie[1] have solved this by touching a file on first startup and running @reboot only when this file does not yet exist. Note that while [0] may point to other patches that might be of interest to FreeBSD, they are still WIP (as evident from the linked patch) as we are still in the process of quiltifying our current code base.
