This was the first thing a I did when I noticed it was not coming
up at boot.

I adjusted the selinux settings and rebooted and
now it's working!

Thanks everyone.

Paul

Besides selinux, check also the environment, the user and the actual
shell. Usually cron jobs and init are **very** different environment
(and sometimes shells), compared to interactive ones. I've seen users
wasting dozens of hours trying to chase similar issues, which were all
trivially fixed sourcing a couple of dotfiles before calling (or
withing) the script.

HTH,
