Example—Displaying a crontab File

The following example shows how to use the crontab -l command to display the contents of the user's default crontab file, the default root crontab file, and the crontab file belonging to another user.


$ crontab -l
13 13 * * * chmod g+w /home1/documents/*.book > /dev/null 2>&1
$ suPassword:
# crontab -l
#ident  "@(#)root       1.19    98/07/06 SMI"   /* SVr4.0 1.1.3.1       */
#
# The root crontab should be used to perform accounting data collection.
#
# The rtc command is run to adjust the real time clock if and when
# daylight savings time changes.
#
10 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logadm
15 3 * * 0 /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind
1 2 * * * [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c > /dev/null 2>&1
30 3 * * * [ -x /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean ] && /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean
# crontab -l jones
