How to know, from what user cron execute task?

When I want to see tasks from root, it say "no crontab for root". I need to find all tasks from all users, and then I will fix bug in it (I don't know where that task is). How can I find user name?

List the contents of /var/spool/cron - will provide you a list of all of the users that have cron entries.

Then you can use:

[root@server ~]#crontab -u username -l

replace the username , from cron file contents.

crontabs can also come from other places, such as /etc/crontab or /etc/crond.d/. – kkeller Sep 06 '12 at 11:38

when you want to use a webgui take a look at webmin

by default the cronjobs are stored under /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ username
