crontab -e issue on sun solaris fresh installation

Question

I'm doing server migration in sun solaris OS. And I have to migrate crontabs also with that. New server have fresh installation of solaris. In usual way while I type crontab -l it shows the existing cron content.

But while I type crontab -e it fail to load the editor. How can I overcome this issue?

Answer 1

This can be fixed by exporting editor variable with value vi . So run following command and then run crontab -e

export EDITOR=vi
crontab -e
