At the top of the file you'll see:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Either {pre,ap}pend /usr/local/{,s}bin or use the full command path.

Cron not executing @reboot command in crontab
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!
