Hi:

If there is a file in '/var/spool/cron/crontabs' then there is a "working" crontab for that user. By "working" I mean that the 'cron' daemon will execute the script. Whether or not the executed script "works" is another matter.

Pete offered you a simple, straighforward solution. A simple embellishment would be to add the user to whom each crontab file belongs in the output.

Shalom,

write a report to a file and use:

http://www.hpux.ws/mailfile2 to mail the attachment.

That would be:
for file in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*; do
user=${file##*/}
echo "crontab for user: $user ========="
cat $file
done | mailx -s "crontab list for $(hostname)" you@wherever.com
