I don't know about "crontab -e", but you can open using your favorite editor (nano, vim, etc), save,  and then reboot.  This saves and executes the crontab file.
IHave you posted your crontab file here?  It's weird that you say the crontab file is getting lost.  Usually cron is started as a system service, so if you make any changes to crontab, it should always run...

Thanks for help/info !
 
The command for help i think were "crontab --help"
 
I were not able to use the editor under "crontab -e" but I used the crontab file variant, something like
 
"crontab file /path/filename" , I think.
 
Then I could edit the crontab file with another editor.
 
Problem now:
 
The crontab function now works for me, but I believe it will only be working until next reboot. Then it will get lost again.
(Have not really checked yest, but I believe it will work this way.)
 
The next issue is then to make the cronjob survive a reboot.
 
Is ther a "last script thats run during startup" that could be used to initiate the cronjob ?
 
( A last line "crontab file /path/filename" )
 
Best reg Arne
