> Ok, I assume you meant /var/cron/tabs/root as the file, right?
No, I meant run crontab -e; does crontab -l show a sane result? If
you edit the file by hand I don't think that cron will notice and take
the changes unless it's restarted.

No, it should take a few seconds. It will try and run your
$EDITOR editor, so if that's emacs instead of vi (for instance),
it might take a bit, but shouldn't be significant.

No, this shouldn't affect anything other than mail.
