Thanks Mark, I was fiddling around and found the setting in the batc
ed. Just setting it locally
in bash won't affect crontab.
2. Make sure VISUAL isn't set differently; it overrides EDITOR for some apps.

I'd love to use whatever works, I've got no problem using Cygwin emacs
or Vim but for some reason, crontab -e insists on firing up a new
instance of NT Emacs.
Is there no way of just creating the file without using crontab -e?
If not, how do I get it to use a different editor?
, I
still have a problem creating crontab.
I run crontab -e and it fires up emacs (my editor of choice) but can't
create the crontab file becuase the temp version is unreadable.
I also tried to open it using another editor by was denied access.
Any thoughts anyone?
Cygwin Emacs or something el
