As part of a solar-boinc project, I switch my x86 Ubuntu setup on with auto-restart (setting in BIOS). The computer starts when it receives power from the supply, not with the power button. For some reason my @reboot cronjobs won't activate when the computer is turned on by this method, only when it's turned on normally with the power button. Is this a thing? Is there another crontab instruction rather than @reboot that I can use? Am I imagining it?

The recommended solution would be to use a systemd service instead of crontab.
