Actually it seems to be the same now even when I dos2unix now (seems to work sometimes not others which is confusing me even more now), wondering if its selinux after all even though afaik it shouldn't be.<br><br>

<div>This is exactly the same as in crontab -e (thats what I use to edit anyway though, so assume it just calls vim), it was also the same problem in nano when I tried after you mentioned that.</div>
