crontab on MacOS

• Example

 crontab -e
 00 20 * * * ctest -S myScript.cmake > myScript.log 2>&1

• Problem:

When I create a cronjob with

 crontab -e

I get the error message:

 crontab: temp file must be edited in place

• Solution:

Use the 'nobackup' option in VI:

 :set nobackup
 crontab: installing new crontab
