Sure.
At your shell prompt, type: man 5 crontab You'll find the man page for the crontab file, which includes multiple examples of cron entries. All of those use the time specification, though, rather than the @reboot keyword. An example using @reboot: @reboot /usr/local/bin/screen -d -m Rtorrent You can edit the crontab for the user with this command at your shell prompt: crontab -u username -e This will dump you into your editor, editing the crontab file for the user "username". Type in the crontab entry (for example, the one I used as an example above), save, and try restarting the jail.
