[arm-allstar] crontab editing on BBB asterisk v1.2.1

[Christopher Kovacs]

Hi Neil,

Use  the following command to set your default browser:   export EDITOR=nano

This will allow you to set the editor of your choosing.  If you used contab
-e, it will use this edtor.  When the crontab is saved, the syntax is
checked and valided before saving.  You will not need to restart crond, as
it will pick up the entries when they are saved.

Another userful crontab command is:

crontab -l

This lists the crontab entry.


73,

Chris, w0anm
