How can we print the entries in /etc/cron.d through commnad line as it not
showing any entries crontab -l as the entry in /etc/cron.d is for root
user .
The entries in /etc/cron.d should look very similar to what you see in
/etc/crontab -- basically, everything in /etc/cron.d/ are just
additional fragments of a greater crontab that includes /etc/crontab and
every file in /etc/cron.d/. If you just 'cat /etc/crontab
/etc/cron.d/*' you'll see all the non-user crontab entries.
I'll note that running 'crontab -l' as root *DOES NOT* show the entries
in /etc/crontab, but rather the entries in /var/spool/cron/root. The
syntax for the root crontab differs from the /etc/crontab and
/etc/cron.d/* entries. In the user crontabs, you don't need to list the
user in the sixth column, since that is implied. That user is required
in the system-wide crontab files.
