Once in Solaris there was a bug that a "crontab" command wiped the crontab, even if it was aborted with Control-C.

The standards require that it works (crontab buffers it in a temporary file).
Of course, one bug in the sed script, and it gets spoiled.

Can crontab be removed from an AIX system. We had a script that was running on the system. It stopped working. An outside vendor said that crontab does not exist on the system. and that is why it is not running. How can i verify this and get it back on the systems if needed?
