How to list cron jobs in Linux

List a user cron jobs and the system-wide cron entries with crontab -l and the /etc/cron files.

See what is scheduled with cron. Each user has their own crontab; the system also runs jobs from /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d, and the cron.daily/hourly/weekly directories.

# Your own cron jobs
crontab -l

# Another user's cron jobs (as root)
sudo crontab -l -u <user>

# System-wide cron
cat /etc/crontab
ls -l /etc/cron.d/

# Periodic job directories
ls -l /etc/cron.daily/ /etc/cron.hourly/ /etc/cron.weekly/
