cron problem

In freebsd when I do crontab -l I get the result crontab:no crontab for root,yet I have a crontab in /etc and I don't know what got messed up? It was working the other day? I probably messed something up(I'm blaming me,the user). I've been wanting to have hourly emails(to my home email and not root) sent to me as to the status that my box is up. Any suggestions or help?

At the command prompt, type in crontab -l. This should give you a list of available crontabs. There are two locations for crontabs, /etc/ and /var/cron/tabs. The /etc/crontab file is roots crontab. To configure and install your crontab, see this --> link Good Luck.
