Hi David,
assuming you use bash, just put an "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi" in your .bashrc (w/o the quotes) and eventually issue a "source $HOME/.bashrc" (again, w/o quotes) to reload the settings if you don't want to logout/login again.
HTH,
Martin

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?
[00:57 nirvana/var/backup] # set | grep EDITOR
EDITOR=/usr/bin/joe
[00:57 nirvana/var/backup] # export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
[00:57 nirvana/var/backup] # set | grep EDITOR
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
_=EDITOR
Now I have an additional piece of environment set to "_=EDITOR". I killed it
with "unset _".
More troubling is how did "EDITOR=/usr/bin/joe" get set in the first place?
This is a basic 10.3 server (Linux nirvana 2.6.22.18-0.2-default). I like vi, I
wouldn't change it.
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.
