Creating and Editing crontab Files

The simplest way to create a crontab file is to use the crontab -e command.
This command invokes the text editor that has been set for your system environment and the default editor for your system environment is defined in the EDITOR environment variable. If this variable has not been set, the crontab command uses the default editor.
Preferably, you should choose an editor that you know well like Notepad++. The following example shows how to determine if an editor has been defined, and how to set up vi as the default.

$ which $EDITOR
$ 
$ EDITOR=vi
$ export EDITOR
