How to find when cron is modified
Hi all,
We use cron "/usr/rdl/sc/cccron" to execute our jobs.
But sometimes it is being changed. but we are not sure when it is changed.
how could we find when cron is modified.
i checked cron by giving ls -l . but it is showing 2009 year.
ls -l /usr/rdl/sc/cccron
-r-xr-xr-x 1 nassim rdl 14111 Jun 15 2009 /usr/rdl/sc/cccron
we edit cron with the userid. the user id is test1.
also checked the file
ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs/test1
-rw------- 1 root rdl 403 Oct 28 14:02 /var/spool/cron/crontabs/test1.
but here it seems oct 28 2011. but i changed this cron with the userid on Nov 15 2011.
Could someone please help?
Thanks & Regards,
Divakar

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
bcron-update
bcron-update(8) System Manager's Manual bcron-update(8)
NAME
bcron-update - Update system crontabs.
SYNOPSIS
bcron-update path [ path ... ]
DESCRIPTION
bcron-update polls the named files or directories periodically to see if there are any new, changed, or removed files. When it detects
changes, it mirrors those changes into the crontab spool directory. bcron-update runs as root in order to be able to read system files
that would potentially be unreadable otherwise.
On Debian, if path is a directory, bcron-update skips files in this directory with names that do not solely consist of lower- and uppercase
letters ('a'-'z', 'A'-'Z'), digits ('0'-'9'), underscores ('_'), and hyphens ('-').
EXAMPLES
To mirror modern vixie-cron's behavior, use:
bcron-update /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d
ENVIRONMENT
BCRON_SPOOL
The spool directory for bcron. Defaults to /var/spool/cron.
BCRON_USER
After writing files and before moving them into their final location, bcron-update changes the ownership of the file to this user so
that bcron-sched can read them.
SEE ALSO
bcron-sched(8)
DIAGNOSTICS
bcron-update outputs three different kinds of messages about actions it is taking.
Rescanning /etc/cron.d
The named directory has been modified, and will be scanned to determine what files have been added or deleted.
-/etc/cron.d/oldfile
The named file no longer exists and will be removed from the spool.
+/etc/cron.d/newfile
The named file was either created or modified since the last scan, and will be copied into the spool.
