That means that you do not yet have a crontab.
Code:
crontab -e
to edit (and thus create) it.

To view syntax on the crontab command, and the crontab file itself (as well as cron facility access controls, etc)...
Code:
man crontab
If you want to unschedule your job, either crontab -e, then remove the line containing the job completely, or just comment it out. Else; if that's the only job in your crontab, crontab -r to delete the crontab entirely.


Cheers
ZB
