How can I see what crons each user has running?

07-08-2011, 09:01 AM

You would have to run this as root, but:
 

Code:

   for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do crontab -u $user -l; done

will loop over each user name listing out their crontab. The crontabs are owned by the respective users so you won't be able to see another user's crontab w/o being them or root.

--[edit] if you want to know, which user does a crontab belong to insert echo $user
 

Code:

   for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do echo $user; crontab -u $user -l; done
