Hi:

If you (your account, including the root account) doesn't have a crontab file, then stopping and restarting the 'cron' daemon isn't going to help.

# crontab -l
# crontab: can't open your crontab file.

...means that you don't have a crontab for the account under which you are logged in.

Regards!

What error you got when you tried?
please check cron.allow/ cron.deny files as well.
Location: /var/adm/cron/
