user should exist in Server_B

login :- user_name

crontab -e

than after adding entry to crontab for the user under Server_B

example :-

crontab -l

also make sure test_user is allowed in cron.allow file server_B

Hi Prathiba,

>>can we list and execute crontab file (present on server_A) on server_B for test user .
The default location of the crontabs for the system users are in /var/spool/cron/crontabs and not in home directory of the user .

If you have test user in both the servers and .rhosts is configured then you may able to do crontab -l and execute the cronjobs.

I missed one point in the above reply .

If you have test user in both the servers and .rhosts is configured then you may able to do crontab -l and execute the cronjobs by using remsh.

No, crontabs are stored locally in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/. You can have them invoke a shared script.

you can use remsh to execute that server and get the ouputs in a central server using SSH without password.
