Byobu autostart from cron

[Whisperity]

byobu-enable only changes the user's configuration to automatically load
byobu after a shell was initiated. However, as described earlier:
> Turning byobu's Start automatically after log in on does not work, because
> there is no login to happen, as the script is started from cron.
