edit crontab
Hi,
I'm not an experience linux user. I just installed the latest ffp v 0.07. The installation went well. Ialready enabled ssh and disabled telnet. I can login to the ssh and do some stuff. My problem is editing the cron using crontab -e. Pressing ESC-i (insert mode) does nothing, instead it outputs ^[ on the screen. I can't even go into command mode on the editor. If somebody can point to the the right direction, i'll be glad to. Thanks
btw, I have a dns-323 with firmware 1.10 /oabi funplug v0.07

Re: edit crontab
If you just want to test it you can export it to disk with
crontab -l > somefile-i-can-access-from-windows.txt
make it writable
cmod 777 somefile-i-can-access-from-windows.txt
Then edit it with at unix friendly editor like notepad++ and later
import it using
crontab somefile-i-can-access-from-windows.txt
But this will not survive boot you need to do something like in this thread below.

If you still wannt to stick to crontab -e you may wannt to install the ffp package joe (joe's own editor, I just love the name). And set the envirnoment variable VISUAL and EDITOR to point to joe. joe is way simpler than vi and its siblings.

Re: edit crontab
thanks, i'll do the above for the meantime while trying to find a fix. Btw, what config file do i need to modify to change the default visual and editor? Tried googling and it says need to modify a certain file at ~./bashrc and i can't find bashrc directory on ffp...Thanks again.
