Hi there,
I have a crontab file with several entries. I would like the job being run by crontab to actually check the crontab file that has executed it to ascertain when exactly the job will be run next. Is there an easy way to do this or as I expect do I have to write a massive script to decipher the different entries in the appropriate cron job?
Thanks
Denis
 
no easy way to do it that I know....

script to interpret it shouldn't be *massive* though Mike
