I have modified /etc/crontab file. you do not modify crontab by editing etc/crontab run the command crontab -e and then write your cron job. after that if you run crontab -l you'll see the cron job you've written. If you still want to use your usual editor say pico use export VISUAL=pico before you run crontab -e because by default it opens vi as the editor. > How can I know the /etc/crontab file has been loaded when the cron daemon > started?
