All, A big thank you to Fabrice Guerini. After I sent out my first summary, Fabrice suggested using gcore to get a core image of the cron daemon, then inspect the memory contents. It requires some twisting, but the result should be valid Thanks again, Jane ======================================================================== ================ My original posting: Hi Sunmanagers, Other than relying on crontab or cron log file, is there a way to check what cron jobs are running on a solaris8 machine? Thanks, Jane My first summary: Thanks everyone who has replied, the list will be too long to post it here. Most people suggested that check /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*, but my concern is that those files, as well as the cron logs file, are edit-able without notifying cron daemon, and cron daemon only read crontab files when it starts up or when you use crontab -e or at command, so those crontab files may not reflect what are really running by cron. Several people also suggested that there is no way to find out of what is really running by cron, assuming that we don't trust crontab files. I guess I will take this as an answer. Thanks again, Jane _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Mar 19 10:11:49 2002
