[cobalt-users] Raq3 help needed w/ text editor / Cron Job

["hirsh -e-skwirtz" <hirsheskwirtz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

we need to set up a cron job according to following instructions:

At the Telnet prompt type: crontab -e
That will open up the Telnet file if you have one, or a temporary from which 
you will work. You will now be in PICO (a text editor), editing the file.

your completed file should look like this (with your path information):

#Daily Crontab Job
30 0 * * * /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/nightlyU.pl


Then type in Control-O or Control-X (depending on your server), to exit.

Then your text editor (PICO) will ask you if you want to save it or not. 
Then hit Y for Yes.

It will then ask you "File Name to write : /tmp/crontab.22999" or something 
similar. Just hit enter. Do not change the name.

> > > > > > > i cannot save the temp file - no response to control -o/x

how does one use the built in text editor?

many thanks
