So why is crontab wrong, especially for recovery after a power failure or system init?

Crontab is wrong for multiple reasons.


lightdm is the window manager for the pi.  You want an auto started
application in lightdm

Your line for autostart is probably

@/usr/local/bin/xastir



There's another way as well, but I don't have the system available at
the moment so I can reverse engineer exactly how I did it.
