This is a minor issue, but has anyone had luck with crontab? When I run the usual crontab -e I'm just returned to the next command prompt.
In theory (I believe I found this in the manual) editcron should do it. In practice, I get the same output as crontab -e ..... peculiar - vi is installed as is crontab...
Maybe something hasn't finalized in their setup?

Use "editcron -e"
We are aware of the discrepancy in the manual. We'll have if updated soon.
Thanks,
Thanks guys!
Hi,
Has anybody successfully run an actual cron job? I was able to setup cron jobs using editcron but they all fail. A smple cron job which does "echo hi" fails with the following error:
chdir /home/ritupran: No such file or directory
Also, it seems you can't put a semi-colon in the cron job:
00 * * * * (cd <dir> ; ./docron.sh)
is not allowed by editcron.
I have also submitted a support ticket (#89935) but haven't received any response.
