To edit my own crontab, I type crontab -e, which opens my crontab in vim (default editor here). The file contains numerous lines like this # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Sun Aug 14 14:29:06 2016) # (Cronie version 4.2) but when write and close the file (:wq), I get this 10:11 bob@hexagon:~> crontab -e crontab: installing new crontab which is what I expect and not alarming. Why all the repeated warnings in the file itself? -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.1.20-11-default Distro: openSUSE 42.1 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.21.0, Qt: 5.5.1 and Plasma:
