crontab location

Hi all, my problen is I designed a crontab with specific parameters & was running till yesterday.
Suddenly it stoped working, I have a confusion that what should be the crontab file location in our file directory...or it doesn't matter that where ever this file is stored.
What should I do now?

Thanks

Usually is /etc/crontab, but depends on the distro. Try restarting the cron service.

I am also facing the same problem

Hi,

I have setup a crontab which would run from the hours 6to 10 for evry hour

like 6,7,8,9,10 and I set up this script @ 6:30.... after setting this crontab and when I do exit.. i have got message like you have stopped jobs.

After that I exited and my crontab was not working why??

check your crontab syntax

Hi Bala, there could be wrong crontab syntax & always exit by " esc+:+q" then u will not get message.
