'cron' is a time-based scheduling service in Unix and Unix-like operating systems (Wikipedia definition) - so maybe this does not fits the OP's requirement, as he wants an boot-up initializer - and not a time based scheduling. Ofcourse - the subject line mentioned 'schedule a task' but the post seems to stress on 'boot-up' The init, inittab and rc files (google for them) will accomplish the boot-up task scheduling requirement.
