Oracle How to find all Cronjobs?
Hey Guys,

i've got a big issue... I've to find all running scripts in all crontabs. Is there a possibility to display all crontabs of each user?

What i've already tried? The following script:
Code:
 for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do crontab -l $user; done

I'm already root but i didn't get from each an information i often receive something like the follow:

Code:
crontab: can't open your crontab file.
crontab: can't open your crontab file.
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron.  Sorry.
crontab: can't open your crontab file.
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron.  Sorry.
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron.  Sorry.
crontab: you are not authorized to use cron.  Sorry.
crontab: can't open your crontab file.

Some ideas?

Why not simply go and look in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ ?

Don't forget root's crontab in /etc (which you may find impossible to read).
