I create a lock file in my @reboot script that checks to see if it is an
actual reboot.  I put it in the beginning of the script and just exit if
it isn't a reboot, or create the lock file if it is a reboot.  This is
what I use:

#---------------------
# lock to make sure it doesn't run again
if [ ~/data/cron_lock -nt /var/run/boot_time ]; then
    exit 0      # already run
fi
mkdir -p ~/data
touch ~/data/cron_lock
#---------------------

I hope that helps.
