Yes. Cron is for periodically running things. You don't need to rerun
periodically. All you need is to place script calling /somewhere/autorun &
in startup. Well, i don't know what system you use, but if that's FreeBSD
then just write something like
---startmud.sh---
/somewhere/autorun &
echo -n ' MUD'
---startmud.sh---
and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
Many systems besides FreeBSD have such startup directories too, so just
ask your sysadmin.
