hi

am trying to edit httpd.conf , but when i type pico, it says that this is an unknown command !

can someone help please

thank you
 
install pico... sounds like its not been installed or has somehow been removed. Also check 1) your logged in as root and 2) your issuing a valid command.

Pico comes with pine.
Pine is an email reader for linux console..

If you don't want to install pine just for pico I'll suggest you use nano :)

nano is a gpled free pico clone and more.

http://nano-editor.org/
 
I just installed nano, do you know how to make it when I do:
crontab -e
so that it uses nano to edit the file?
 
Hello,

That is define in you environmental variable called $EDITOR
Code:
echo $EDITOR
to see what's set,
Code:
EDITOR=nano
to set the editor to use nano.

echo $EDITOR

shows nothing and where do I do the EDITOR=nano?

thanks
 
Why not use VI(M) ?

Am i the only VI user here ?
When one get's used to the vi interface, it works better than Midnight Commander and Pico in one :D

pico doesn't come installed with Red Hat 9. (I think there was a licensing feud between Red Hat and pine.) However, you can get it by typing 'up2date pine' in a console or SSH session.

Just FYI.
