Is it possible to edit the corntab using vi

Answer Posted / baskar

The command to edit the crontab is
#crontab -e
Check that the EDITOR variable is set to the editor you want
to use. This instructs the cron utility to use to open the file.
#EDITOR=vi
#export EDITOR
now you can use crontab -e to edit the crontab
