Hello,

When I edit the crontab for some new periodic job, how can I restart the
cron?

Thanks a lot.

You need to use the crontab command rather than directly editing crontab
files

crontab -l > myfile.cron

edit myfile.cron

crontab <myfile.cron

now cron will know the crontab file has changed and re-read it

At least on Solaris, the man page for crontab recommends using
crontab -e to change or add periodic jobs. That way, you don't have to do
anything. If you can't do it this way, try sending a SIGHUP to the cron
process.

Speaking only for myself,
