I'm wondering how cron knows when a machine is rebooted.
What does cron check? Which parameter / file?
Do you know it?

$ man 5 crontab

See @reboot

Never used it but I assume it will run after cron service is started.

I haven't used it either, but I saw it there. Makes you wonder what would happen if you simply restarted the service or stopped it and then started it again.
