sounds like you're in vi. the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables specify which editor you get when you type crontab -e.<br><br>to save, quit, and install your changes:<br><ESC> <br>:wq<ENTER><br><br><br>

Once logged on via ssh to server, then inputing the following: "crontab<br>
-e" something comes up which is not a text editor and does not seem to<br>
have an apparent save function. Alternately trying "nano crontab -e"<br>
does not seem to work,therein being, no crontab content.Trying the same<br>
with sudo gets a permission denied and reported warning.<br>

Well,fellows and dames,how do I limp out of this one?. tnx.<br>
