i want to run a python script home/winikolo/SnCBot/main.py around 5 minutes after bootup, how do i do this?

Crontab

Crontab doesn't have that feature. IMHO the easiest way is to start a script at bootup (via crontab or systemd) that has a timer that after 5 minutes execute your main.py

There are indeed commands after a reboot!

@reboot sleep 60 && my_script.sh

Ahhh your using the bash sleep command, nice. But increase 60 to 300 so is it closer to 5 minutes
