php - Crontab -e opens new file each time I run it - Ask Ubuntu
cronjob working couple of months, until mysteriously happened , stopped. checked under user , under root, , couldnt find cronjobs. interested in, when first started cronjob sudo crontab -e
, file opened had lots of comments in it. each time hit command, same file cronjobs opened me. when run each time open different blank file:
/tmp/crontab.tpv8x6/crontab /tmp/crontab.fckvr2/crontab etc.
why happening? able open same file on again.
these temporary files created whilst crontab -e invoked (i.e. while editor still open). actual user crontabs kept in:
/var/spool/cron/crontabs
so can check there crontabs expect exist. these files not supposed edited directly, should continue use crontab -e edit/update cron jobs. alternatively can edit global crontab at:
/etc/crontab
which has 'user' field specify user under command should run.
