Hello,

I apologize if this is trivial, I genuinely read through all the cron-
related manpages and tried several things, but this is my issue:

I want to use 'autossh' to automatically establish reverse port
forwarding on boot, so (as root) I can 'crontab -e' and added this line
to the bottom:

@reboot autossh [all my options]

After adding the line, running 'crontab -l' shows that the line was
correctly added; I have also confirmed that the 'autossh ...' part
works perfectly when I just execute it in a terminal. When I reboot the
system though, nothing happens.

Even if I restart cron with rcctl, nothing happens. I even confirmed
that sshd is started before cron in rc, I have tried everything I could
come up with, I just have no clue what I'm missing.

Since I am new to OpenBSD, I would appreciate your advice or any clues
on what I have done wrong. Regarding system setup, this is a completely
bare system, I have just run 'sysupgrade -s' and installed autossh.

Thank you in advance!
