Saving the crontab file. It should be re-read automatically, with no need to restart a system-level service. Either you also did something else which you do not mention; or you introduced an error in /etc/crontab as you edited it. Note that the generally recommended way is to add a file in /etc/cron.d instead of editing /etc/crontab. Doing so reduces the risk of conflicts later. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se
