Is there any app for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (server, no visual interface) in order to easily manage crontab? Maybe a daemon running in background and access to it via a web browser? Using crontab -e is not working anymore for me because I have over 100 lines with crons.

Use Crontab UI. This is something I made to allow easy and safe management of crontab.

These are some of the features provided by it:

1. Easy setup
2. Safe adding, deleting or pausing jobs. Easy to maintain hundreds of jobs.
3. Backup your crontabs.
4. Export crontab and deploy on other machines without much hassle.

Web-based Administration

You can try amongst the web-based server administration panels that are available for Ubuntu. Ajenti and Webmin are two such programs that do support cron - I personally will recommend Ajenti.
