SSH to the server and run this command:
/usr/bin/crontab -e
-e (edit user's crontab)
-l (list user's crontab)

Hey by mistake I removed all crontabs from crontab -e

I have all cron tabs saved can you tell me how to save there?
I typed there but I cant find a way tot save

If your editor is VI then hit escape key and :wq to save and quit.

For pico or nano editor, hit ctrl-x and enter.

This is what comes when I fire

crontab -e

can u tell me how to save in it?

 

[jayh38]

ok you are using vi.

so you would do this:

crontab -e
i (to insert text)
shift insert (to paste from clip board)

escape ( when finished )
:wq (colon wq to save and exit)

Here is a link for basic vi commands.

errors in crontab file, can't install.
Do you want to retry the same edit?


I added
41 1 * * * /scripts/upcp
0 1 * * * /scripts/cpbackup
*/15 * * * * /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/dnsqueue > /dev/null 2>&1
2,58 * * * * /usr/local/bandmin/bandmin
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bandmin/ipaddrmap
10 22 * * * /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/cpaddons_report.pl --notify
0 6 * * * /scripts/exim_tidydb > /dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/cpanel/bin/dcpumon >/dev/null 2>&1

and then saved..n got that error

Perhaps you are pasting some other ascii characters that are not displayed. Be sure your clipboard contains text only.

You may want to hand type just one line just to see if it does save properly without pasting.

I didnt not paste.. I wrote them one by one aand then saved
