The crontab file. Where is it normally? 1

[Chrissirhc]

hi,

If I wanted to copy my crontab file (back it up or whatever) where would I go to get it?

 

[PHV]

In most flavor of *nix, here:
/usr/spool/cron/crontabs/UserName
Maybe

 man crontab

will tell you where to find your job's file.

Hope This Help

or just back it up to a file..

crontab -l > /path/to/file

you can edit this file, and reinvoke it with

crontab file

hth

Solaris, HP and AIX have the crontabs directory in /var/spool/cron.

You can add Linux to bi's list.
