Basically you are in the vi editor. If you did not make any changes and you want to exit vi, you would type [:yellow]:q</font color=yellow>. If you did make some changes you would type [:yellow]:wq</font color=yellow>, which would write the changes and quit the editor.<br><br>---<br>'If it's worth doing, It's worth doing loudly'<br>Scream

Scream, you amaze me. I don't know how you find the time to code this board and answer the million-and-a-half questions a day you get around here.<br><br>Oh, and since I have your attention... I've got this nagging pain in my lower back that won't go away. Do you know what's causing that? []/forumimages/smile.gif[/]<br><br>

A great little GUI app for taking care of your cron and at files can be found at.<br>www.linux-kheops.com/pub/vcron/vcronGB.html<br><br>

if it's in linux just type<br>export EDITOR=pico<br><br>
