How can I print out my crontab? Under Linux this can be done using crontab -l, however, running crontab -l under Mac OS X produces no output whatsoever and exits cleanly.
Here's my crontab:
0 9,10,11,12 * * 1-6 /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/vimmaid.sh
0 9,10,11,12 1,28 1,3,5,7,9,11 * /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/yankmaid.sh
0 9,10,11,12 1,2,*0,*1 * * /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/cronman.sh
0 *1,*3,*5,*7,*9 * * * /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/syl.sh
The command for Mac OS X and Linux are the same: crontab -l
This seems to indicate that the crontab is empty. Maybe edit the crontab with crontab -e and afterwards print out the crontab. Your changes should now be printed to console.
OS X doesn't use cron for very much (relying more on launchd) but any crontabs should be located in /usr/lib/cron/tabs/ and /etc/crontab
I copy and pasted my crontab into a file called ~/.crontab and ran crontab ~/.crontab; now when I run crontab -l, I get:
0 9,10,11,12 * * 1-6 /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/vimmaid.sh
0 9,10,11,12 1,28 1,3,5,7,9,11 * /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/yankmaid.sh
0 9,10,11,12 1,2,*0,*1 * * /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/cronman.sh
0 *1,*3,*5,*7,*9 * * * /Users/alexej.magura/scripts/syl.sh
This worked for me:
cat /Volumes/usr/lib/cron/username
