It seems like Cron should come pre-installed in HiFiBerry OS. It is such a basic tool for creating jobs and tasks. For instance, if I want to add a PWM fan and control it, having Cron startup my python script on start would be quite nice.
Is there another solution I can use to set a python script to run at startup I am missing?
Do I need to use docker to install Cron?

Jeffrey Baker FWIW, I have seen elsewhere the answer that "HiFiBerryOs is just for audio playback". I accept that. But being forced into a full blown linux install just to add a script for PWM fans seems wrong. At that point it is *too* focused.

HiFiBerry team I don't see why you would need cron to start a script. Just create a systemd unit for your script. Note that it will be gone with an update.
