Root cannot edit crontab
I need help. I'm using ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. i wanna edit the crontab and i already login as root. when i run command "crontab -e", there is already a schedule that download file and execute. i think it's a trojan so i want to remove from crontab but everytime i change the crontab, the error message show "operation not permitted".
How to fix this problem and remove the injected script in my crontab?
linux ubuntu bash cron

First of all, welcome to Super User! We are always glad to help, but you apparently have two Super User accounts: this one and this one. Please take the time to utilize the following Help Center tutorial and ask the Super User staff to merge your accounts: I accidentally created two accounts; how do I merge them?

This error message is often shown for files with the 'immutable' or 'append-only' attributes. Use lsattr on the files (and their parent folder) to check whether they have this attribute, and chattr to remove it.
