This is a small tip, I like to use, as normally in recently installed Linux, vi
is used as the default editor instead of vim
or nano
.
So, How to change the default crontab editor to vim or nano?
To change to vim
or nano
just run:
export EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" ; crontab -e
that is for vim, or.
export EDITOR="/usr/bin/nano" ; crontab -e
OK, you are now ready to work with your favorite text editor, instead of the default.
