Hi, By default you end up in the vi editor. It is the clasic unix text editor. I use an editor called joe but that is not installed by default on rh. Pico is installed and that is easyer to use than vi for me. before you say crontab -e, first do: export EDITOR=pico and enter. then do crontab -e and you will go into pico. you can then enter a line like: 10 16 * * * /usr/bin/command and then save (^x) regards, Willem
