crontab has been vanished! #3

By coming systemd, crontab is no longer available on most distributions. Please replace it something more common for these days.

OS: Archlinux

I also had issues where the crontab line wasn't added, although I can't see why. Even if systemd is the future (i'm on debian9 which uses systemd) I believe most distributions still ship with cron. It does look like something went awry though, and I ended up adding the line to the system /etc/crontab manually. Seems like it might be worth investigating, and/or moving to systemd.
