Subject:	crontab: no changes made
MIME-Version:	1.0

Hi,

When I start "crontab -e" it won't run, because I haven't vi
installed. I remembered reading something about an EDITOR or VISIBLE
environment variable, though I couldn't find it any more. Thus I set

export EDITOR=emacs

Then crontabs starts up emacs, editing a temporary file (i.e.
/tmp/cron.1900)
However, when I close emacs (with or without saveing changes to the
tmp file) crontab displays "crontab: no changes made to crontab".

Where's the flaw?

Thanks
Uwe
