Changing your default editor
Tired of having 'vi' (elvis actually) as the default editor when
launching stuff like 'crontab -e' and such from the commandline? Would
you much rather have emacs, joe, pico or some other editor as the
default?
It is easy to change, just set the environment variable VISUAL to the
full path of your favorite editor, and it will be used instead. To do
it, just execute this command:
$ export VISUAL=/usr/bin/joe
Now 'joe' is the default editor. You can make this change permanent for
a single user by putting the 'export VISUAL=' line into the
.bash_profile file in the home dir of the user in question, or you can
make it a systemwide default by putting it into the /etc/profile file.
