[Koha] Fines Calculation not working

[nitesh rijal]

This is what I did......

I used SSH to log in to my server that hosts koha......

# ssh 202.70.79.13

# cd /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs

# crontab -u root crontab.example

#crontab -u kohaadmin crontab.example

#crontab -e

Then I changed the PERL5LIB, KOHA_CONF and KOHA_CRON_PATH accordingly.

Then pressed Ctrl+O to writeout and then Ctrl+X to exit.

What happens is that when I close the SSH session and re-enter using SSH,
the crontab.example rolls back to the previous content.....all the changes
that I made to it are no there......what is this problem???

Is this obvious or have I made some mistakes???

Please Help.
