Answer by mahemoff for Why crontab scripts are not working?

Another Gotcha:

When you type crontab -e and save inside the editor, it won't have any effect. You have to exit the editor for it to add or update according to your changes (e.g. use :x in Vim).

(crontab -e effectively runs "edit cron file; update from cron file" so it's blocking on the editor until you close it.)
