cron decides on whether to run @reboot jobs by checking if the file /var/run/crond.reboot exists. If it exists, cron skips @reboot jobs; if it doesn't, it runs @reboot jobs, then creates it (so they are skipped next time). cron does this to ensure @reboot jobs are really run only once, instead of eg: when cron is restarted for some reason. In your case, the /var/run/crond.reboot seems to be preserved across reboots, which I cannot reproduce. Could you post the output of `mount | grep run` here? Christian
