How do I list all cron jobs for all users?

Is there a command or an existing script that will let me view all of a *NIX system's scheduled cron jobs at once? I'd like it to include all of the user crontabs, as well as /etc/crontab , and whatever's in /etc/cron.d . It would also be nice to see the specific commands run by run-parts in /etc/crontab .

Ideally, I'd like the output in a nice column form and ordered in some meaningful way.

I could then merge these listings from multiple servers to view the overall "schedule of events."

I was about to write such a script myself, but if someone's already gone to the trouble...

You would have to run this as root, but:

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 a crontab belongs to, use echo $user

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

I ended up writing a script (I'm trying to teach myself the finer points of bash scripting, so that's why you don't see something like Perl here). It's not exactly a simple affair, but it does most of what I need. It uses Kyle's suggestion for looking up individual users' crontabs, but also deals with /etc/crontab (including the scripts launched by run-parts in /etc/cron.hourly , /etc/cron.daily , etc.) and the jobs in the /etc/cron.d directory. It takes all of those and merges them into a display something like the following:

mi     h    d  m  w  user      command
09,39  *    *  *  *  root      [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm
47     */8  *  *  *  root      rsync -axE --delete --ignore-errors / /mirror/ >/dev/null
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/apt
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/aptitude
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/find
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/man-db
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/ntp
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/standard
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd
27     2    *  *  7  root      /etc/cron.weekly/man-db
27     2    *  *  7  root      /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd
13     3    *  *  *  archiver  /usr/local/bin/offsite-backup 2>&1
32     3    1  *  *  root      /etc/cron.monthly/standard
36     4    *  *  *  yukon     /home/yukon/bin/do-daily-stuff
5      5    *  *  *  archiver  /usr/local/bin/update-logs >/dev/null

Note that it shows the user, and more-or-less sorts by hour and minute so that I can see the daily schedule.

So far, I've tested it on Ubuntu, Debian, and Red Hat AS.

                    [[ -f "${cron_job_file}" ]] && echo "${cron_fields} ${cron_job_file}"
                done
            fi
        fi
    done;
}

# Output the collected crontab lines. Replace the single spaces between the

# header line, and format the results as a table.
cat "${temp}" |
    sed --regexp-extended "s/^(S+) +(S+) +(S+) +(S+) +(S+) +(S+) +(.*)$/1t2t3t4t5t6t7/" |
    sort --numeric-sort --field-separator="${tab}" --key=2,1 |
    sed "1imithtdtmtwtusertcommand" |
    column -s"${tab}" -t

rm --force "${temp}"

Under Ubuntu or debian, you can view crontab by /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ and then a file for each user is in there. That's only for user-specific crontab's of course.
