non-root cronjobs

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs,

What is command to find out cronjobs run by all non-root users ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Shiv,
you can do the following

ls -la /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*

and that will list the crontabs for each of the users
You as root can view each one of these files.
One other way is

for each in `ls /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*`
do
cat $each
done

This will list all the contents in each file for all the crontabs

thanks

Hi,

but only those files that relate to an existing user are executed.

Hi Shiv,

/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ is the directory where each users cronjobs are specified by the username. These are ASCII files which can be viewed.

Secondly if you want to find out for perticular user give #crontab -l username which will list users crontab file

Cheers !!!

Hi Shiv,

As an addition to other replies if you
want to give permission to a non_root user
who may want to use cron then just add this
user to the file;

/var/adm/cron/cron.allow

Good Luck,
