Re: Can't edit crontab

Greetings, Emlio!

The way I set the EDITOR var to nano is:
$ EDITOR=nano;
And if i type "EDITOR" nano editor is opened. But when I run crontab -e
I get the crontab edited by vi(m) again.
$ EDITOR=nano crontab -e

?
Yep, this worked!
I had tried similar stuff with pipelines (yes, it's called desperation),
but hadn't think of this idea.
Then export your variable in ~/.bashrc

And please don't CC list messages to me personally.
