I have a well working fcron on my WSL Ubuntu 18.04. however I could not get the bootrun option to take effect:

&bootrun 0 * * * * echo "make a log entry $(date)" >>  ~/myfiles/fcron/testlog.log

according to the fcron documentation the bootrun option tells fcron to execute jobs that have been missed due to the system being shut off. So when I turn on the computer, i should find those log entries for every hour during the previous night. However, this is not happening. There are only log entries from then my computer was running. how can i Fix this?
