Problem with crontab(redhat)

general

forum:yosssi 20 years, 5 months ago

$ crontab -e

no crontab for yosssi - using an empty one

/bin/sh: line 1: /bin/vi: No such file or directory

crontab: "/bin/vi" exited with status 127

Thanks for your help.

You don't have vi installed, or it couldn't be found.

Try whereis vi to see if you need to install it.

Bye.

or set the EDITOR environment variable to the name of the text editor you want to use instead. i prefer vim.

for example:

export EDITOR=nano

nano is the best ;)

/me looks at his pico and the nano….. I really must upgrade someday.
