Hi, When I start "crontab -e" it won't run, because I haven't vi installed. I remembered reading something about an EDITOR or VISIBLE environment variable, though I couldn't find it any more. Thus I set
export EDITOR=emacs Then crontabs starts up emacs, editing a temporary file (i.e. /tmp/cron.1900) However, when I close emacs (with or without saveing changes to the tmp file) crontab displays "crontab: no changes made to crontab". Where's the flaw?
