"export" will only carry the shell variable till the next time the
shell is restarted, or the system rebooted, to make it permanent, it
needs to be placed in your profile (you only) or the system profile
if you want it to apply to all users. <br>
<br>
Not knowing what shell you are using.. something like <br>
<br>
echo "export EDITOR=nano" >> ~/.bashrc<br>
<br>
will make it permanent. The name of your profile file will change
depending on what shell you are using.. . Run a "ls -a" so you can
see what hidden file you have in your home directory.. Fred<br>

<div>Hi Neil,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Use the following command to set your default browser: export
EDITOR=nano
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another userful crontab command is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>crontab -l <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This lists the crontab entry.</div>
<div><br>
