    Dear All,
    I have a new centos 5.5 machine. The problem when I type crontab -e it gives me -bash: crontab: command not found. How make my crontab work ? Thank you.

    Are you logged in as root?

    Does
    Code:
    /sbin/crontab -e
    work?

    Try:

    which crontab

    ps -ef | grep cron

    If there is no output you can install 'crontabs' with:

    yum install crontabs vixie-cron
