crontab help
I installed linux myself, I'm logged on as root. My os is linux 2.6.15-1.2054.
When I tried echo $EDITOR and echo $VISUAL the result was blank. When I typed in the command crontab -l I got 16 4 * * * /etc/webmin/cron/tempdelete.pl which is going delete the webmin temp files. It didn't really show me the typical permissions.
