[SOLVED] How to save file in crontab using Ubuntu

Issue

I am editing a crontab file using the nano editor on Ubuntu. I need to save my text as a crontab file. When I attempt to save the file, it is asking me for the file name, but after I give the file name it's not taking or I'm not giving the proper path or something. I have included a screen shot below.

Thanks for helping!

Solution

Try to do as follow: Use VI as editor:

export VISUAL=vi
crontab -e

press i for write; than press ESC and :wq for save and exit.
