Any way to get the crontab back ?
Hi All,

I have typed "crontab - e" instead of "crontab -e" by mistake.
Then i checked, surprisingly the cron tab got deleted.

I wanted the crontab, is there any way to get my crontab back?

Thanks,
Vinay TJ

So Im quite sure when you typed, crontab -e, you werent the user you thought, thus no crontab...
