Viewing the cron file

rinku11 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-24-2006

Hi All,
I am trying to look into the crontab file present in /var/spool/cron/crontab. A file with the name of the superuser name is present there with the -r-------- permission. Even I am logged in using the same superuser id. But while am trying to cat that, its prompting permission denied.
Could someone tell me how to view, how to list the commands that run through CRON ?

Thanks & Regards,
Rin..

Hi
you can try this command for a specific user

$ crontab -l

It will show the list of processes which are to be executed through cron for a particular user.
