> What is the correct way to get cron to read the new crontab ?

Saving the crontab file.

It should be re-read automatically, with no need to restart a
system-level service.

Either you also did something else which you do not mention; or you
introduced an error in /etc/crontab as you edited it.

Note that the generally recommended way is to add a file in
/etc/cron.d instead of editing /etc/crontab. Doing so reduces the risk
of conflicts later.
