Will Crontab reload it's configuration just be editing the Crontab file? will the crontab just change After I edit the crontab file or I will have to run some command in order to reload configuration?

    You need to save the crontab and exit the editor. Only then will the crontab be reloaded. – Jos Jul 30 '18 at 09:47
  • If you edit the crontab file with crontab -e .. yes. – Soren A Jul 30 '18 at 10:16

Yes it will, nothing else to do, just edit the crontab file and save it, it takes effect immediately.
