If I have a process that I want to start at bootup, using crontab(1), one
which never exits, should I suffix an ``&'' to the command-string, as I
would at a shell prompt?  Or does cron automatically fork the process when
it runs the command?

The answer to this isn't clear from the 1,5 section man-pages, nor from
cron(8).  Or else, I'm just missing it, somehow...
