CentOS | crontab editor

Just got my new xen image from Stacklet.org. Everything goes fine except when I try to add some cron activity, something strange appear :

bash# crontab -e
no crontab for root - using an empty one
/bin/sh: /bin/vi: No such file or directory
crontab: "/bin/vi" exited with status 127

what? no vi with a defautl install ? hmm.. I wonder why they strip off the vi editor. Never mind. Googling around and I found some work around to make this happen.

Put a file in your ~.

bash# touch ~/.bashrc

add with your prefered editor.

export VISUAL=nano

refresh


bash# source ~/.bashrc

Building a KVM Proxy

Traditionally we seldomly connect our KVM from the port directly to the server that consists of usb for keyboard and mouse, vga cable for display purposes. More advanced you may have an experience using the iKVM which connect all you kvm port from the internet where you can have a remote location as long as you have the internet connection. When technology evolve, physical server are becoming obsolete since we have the virtualization technology. Since that to access your virtual machine (vm) are more easier. Instead of using SSH, like a Xen hypervisor, the Xen itself can host as a KVM server and map to the vm on different port as configured from the config file.
