  The mcron configuration file can contain any guile code, and is
executed when mcron starts up.  So you can just call any of your
scripts at startup and it will have the effect of Debian's cron's
@reboot parameter.

For example, the file

    (display "test 1") (newline)
    (job '(next-minute) (lambda () (display "test 2") (newline)))

will display "test 1" at start-up, and then "test 2" at the head
of every minute thereafter.
