Hi experts,

need your helpo.

after editing the crontab while saving the file it says-

"/tmp/crontabRlaauT" 1 line, 77 characters
cron may not be running - call your system administrator
[root @ unixserver]

And i checked after certain time. script in cron is not running. I got a mail in user saying Cronjob Terminated. I am using Solari 9.
