   crontab question

   Hi all,   
      
   maybe someone has made similar experience:   
      
   I have a "shared webhosting" account on a virtual machine, running   
      
       Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.   
      
   On this virtual host we have full crontab access and up to now this   
   worked as it should. But:   
      
   Some minutes ago I got a message from a friend, saying some monitoring   
   had stopped on this machine this afternoon, 10 hours ago or so. I checked   
   the crontab and there was no change made to it for weeks, but I could   
   confirm that it suddenly refused to work.   
      
   Since it was pointless to contact the "support" (LOL...), so, just for   
   interest I tried to "crontab -e" and I left if with ":wq", though I did   
   NOT change anything.   
      
   The funny thing is, that from that point on crontab worked again.   
      
   So, my question:   
      
   Does anyone have an idea what could have happened there?   
      
   Thanks -- I highly appreciate any hint!   
      
   Best regards,   
      
   Markus
