Crontab -e uses the editor set in the enironmental variable $EDITOR, if its not set, the crontab will be edited with the 'ed' editor, which isn't very userfriendly.To change editor, simply set $EDITOR to something else, such as:EDITOR=viexport EDITOR .7/M.

I do it a different way.crontab -l > [filename]Then edit and make copies of that file as you require using whichever editor you prefer. To then replace the user's (the one you are logged in as) crontab file with your new one.crontab < [filename]
