First, consider what you are trying to do and why.

Is it really necessary? What are you trying to achieve?

Explain a little more.

The instant answer is templates. But first think about the comments above.

Then please read the manual.

Etc.

Why not use /etc/rc.d/rc.local ? I works for me...

I used crontab @reboot... on SME7 - SME9 without any problems.

I am not using it on SME 10 because I have not re-established the service I was starting in SME9 - but I would expect it to work.

Still be nice to know what the OP was trying to achieve.

Often it is the start of an XY Info issue :-)
