List All Cron Jobs?

I'm more a programmer than a sys admin, but I've been having to do a little admin stuff lately and I was just wondering if there was a way as root to list all the cron jobs set for each user. I am trying to consolidate the cron jobs of all of my predecessors (and my own) into 1 account to make it easier to manage everything down the road.

Go to /var/spool/cron and check the files there. Each file should correspond to the login accounts of each user.

Thx for the info! Would that be the only place I need to check? Right now it seems there's only 1 file in there and it only has 1 line in it, but I know that there are more automated tasks being run every night (I get emailed the results from each run). Is there another place I would need to check? Thanks,

The other place would be /etc/crontab.

for SuSE eg. i know they have an entry in /etc/crontab that checks /etc/cron.daily/*, /etc/cron.monthly/* and so on. you need to check the scripts that are run by cron if they are calling other scripts too...

crontab -l <user>

the superuser may specify a different username than their own. if you want to see the contents of /etc/cron* in one pretty printout, i think you'll have to write your own shell script.

Thanks all! I think I found everything in /etc/crontab but I'll check out all the other suggested places as well to make sure.

Thanks again.
