CRONTAB failure
am getting the following error while trying to create a new crontab file:

(jravisha) jravisha- crontab -e
no crontab for jravisha - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab
"/tmp/crontab.XXXXH3SJgR":1: premature EOF
errors in crontab file, can't install.
Do you want to retry the same edit?

any idea why?
