On Fedora 18, nano is in /bin. I don't know if that's where it is on Fedora 17. [mdeggers@trident ~]$ which nano /bin/nano So: export EDITOR=/bin/nano crontab -e brings up crontab (empty for me) in the nano editor. Since I prefer vi, I immediately Ctrl-X out of the editor and unset the environment variable with: unset EDITOR And now I'm back to vi. To find out where nano is on Fedora 17, type: which nano from the command line. Then adjust your export command accordingly. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
