How can I restart crontab daemon?
I tried "service crontab restart" and "dpkg --list |grep crontab", they have no help.
crontab(1) is the name of the command that you use, as a user, to
display or alter your personal crontab.
The daemon (service) that runs your crontab jobs, however, is usually
named "cron". Or possibly "crond" on some systems.
hobbit:~$ ps -ef | grep cron
root 826 1 0 Dec05 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron -f
greg 57136 1769 0 18:44 pts/14 00:00:00 man 1 crontab
greg 57161 1765 0 18:44 pts/13 00:00:00 grep cron
Given that the daemon's name is "cron", the service name is probably
similar. Let's just take a guess that it's the same:
hobbit:~$ systemctl status cron
