List all cron jobs for all users

leave a comment

You need to run this as root:

[server][root][~]# for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do crontab -u $user -l; done

that will loop over each user in /etc/passwd listing out their crontab. The crontabs are owned by the respective users so you will not be able to see another user’s crontab without doing this as root.
