Dear All
jobs are scheduled in crontab . To view this I use crontab -l . But suddenly today I am not able to see any jobs that is being scheduled in crontab. when I type crontab -l , I am seeing nothing.I am not logging through admin user(i dont have it).But I can schedule jobs through crontab.
WHY this ?
Is there any way to recover scheduled jobs in crontab ?
tkbharani, most likely, your crontab file has been truncated/removed. You can check that by using 'ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs/your_user_name'. This will show whether your file exists and is zero bytes or doesn't exist at all (though I think that it would give you a different message in that case).
Regarding restoration of the file, you will have to talk to the administrators. They should be able to restore this from any OS backup.
