Cron jobs in a unix server
Dear all,

Is it possible to view all the cronjobs set under all the userids in a server.
Or view all the cronjobs in the server?

Thanks in anticipation,
Sree.

Generally it is considered a security risk to give ordinary users access to cron or at.
Anyway
Code:
crontab -l -u <username>

lists the crontab for a given user. ...to start you off -
Code:
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd |\
while read usern
do
   crontab -l -u $usern
done

run as root.

Linux (and I suppose others too) also run whatever is in /etc/cron.{d,daily,hourly,monthly} and /etc/crontab
