Listmates,
Gremlins in my 10.3 server again. I went to edit a crontab and to my surprise, a blue screen editor appeared and I had no idea how to get out of it so I just hit ctrl+c to exit. Further investigation revealed that "joe" was now my default editor? joe who?
I would look at the chair keyboard-interface(s) for a culprit :-p
That is always the prime suspect in these cases.
More frustrating, this seems to be set every time I open a new shell. I exit a shell, su to reopen another, and the thing is set to joe again. Where do I fix this for good? Thanks.
Just:
grep EDITOR *
Thanks Carlos, I found it: /etc/hxtools.conf:EDITOR="/usr/bin/joe"; $%$@#G%^ Jan! Why don't you use vi like a normal ultimate super-human kernel hacker??? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
