How to save crontab configuration when using SSH?

Hi,

I'm trying to save a crontab configuration using SSH, acessing a Linux machine from a Windows desktop.

So, in the prompt I type "crontab -e", to edit crontab, and a window is opened.

But after writing the changes, I press Save button but it seems not working, because when I enter crontab editing again my changes are not there.

What should I do to save my configuration?

Thank you

There's no special way to do it over SSH as opposed to locally.

It may reject your changes if it detects a syntax error.

[edit] You say it opens a window? It may be using an odd text editor. Try changing your EDITOR variable to 'nano' or 'vim' so it uses a local editor in the console.
