Cron problem

Hi,

I've just done a school boy error.
I was trying to edit the crontab but instead of using:
crontab -e

I used crontab -r without realising. Then went to look at the crontab but ntohing their. Looked int he manual and -r removed the crontab.

Is their any way of getting this back??

Cheers

try searching for file named crontab, you might find an old copy somewhere (a very remote possibility)

Code:
find / -name 'crontab' 2>/dev/null

Yea, if you can't find the original cron file that you are supposed to use instead of directly modifying cron you are beat.
