Question Crontab OPTIONS
Hi All,

I know that with crontab we have the following OPTIONS:
crontab -e
crontab -l
crontab -r

Just want to know is there any option which tells you or shows you the modification history i.e. when the crontab was last modified and who modified it etc.....

Thanks

Crontab files are located in /var/spool/cron/crontabs & are named same as the effective user name.
Doing "ls -l" will show you the last modified time.
Other than the user, only a privileged user (root) can edit, list, or remove the crontab file of the specified user.

See man page for crontab.
