You can set ee as the default editor with:

setenv EDITOR ee

(assuming we are using the default csh shell)

And make this change permanent by adding that same command to the .cshrc file which is found in the user's home directory (that is /root/.cshrc if you are a root user)

Isn’t better to shut down the server every two weeks for about one hour so you can inspect the logs for any anomalies then clear them? 

That’s what I would do anyway.
