Though, not every cron supports that.

Also, if you are packaging software, you have to do it the right way. But if not, it's often easier to go and install an init script.

I actually edited my comment right as you were responding. It's definitely broken in some distros, I think debian/ubuntu.

It's not broken. You just have to get a cron that supports it. Debian has at least one that does, but it's not the default one.
