Welp, one way is to make a script and run it from crontab...
---<snip>
#!/bin/sh
ps -x > ~mudhomedir/pslist
if ! ( grep -q autorun ~mudhomedir/pslist ); then
cd ~mudhomedir
./autorun &
fi
---<snip>
Then just add something similar to your crontab entry:
---<snip>
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * cd ~mudhomedir ; ./scriptfilename >/dev/null 2>&1
---<snip>
