You would have to run this as root, but:

for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do crontab -u $user -l; done

will loop over each user name listing out their crontab. The crontabs are owned by the respective users so you won't be able to see another user's crontab w/o being them or root.

Edit if you want to know which user a crontab belongs to, use echo $user

for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do echo $user; crontab -u $user -l; done

I ended up writing a script (I'm trying to teach myself the finer points of bash scripting, so that's why you don't see something like Perl here). It's not exactly a simple affair, but it does most of what I need. It uses Kyle's suggestion for looking up individual users' crontabs, but also deals with /etc/crontab (including the scripts launched by run-parts in /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, etc.) and the jobs in the /etc/cron.d directory. It takes all of those and merges them into a display something like the following:

mi     h    d  m  w  user      command
09,39  *    *  *  *  root      [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm
47     */8  *  *  *  root      rsync -axE --delete --ignore-errors / /mirror/ >/dev/null
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/apt
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/aptitude
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/find
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/man-db
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/ntp
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/standard
17     1    *  *  *  root      /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd
27     2    *  *  7  root      /etc/cron.weekly/man-db
27     2    *  *  7  root      /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd
13     3    *  *  *  archiver  /usr/local/bin/offsite-backup 2>&1
32     3    1  *  *  root      /etc/cron.monthly/standard
36     4    *  *  *  yukon     /home/yukon/bin/do-daily-stuff
5      5    *  *  *  archiver  /usr/local/bin/update-logs >/dev/null

Note that it shows the user, and more-or-less sorts by hour and minute so that I can see the daily schedule.

So far, I've tested it on Ubuntu, Debian, and Red Hat AS.

Under Ubuntu or debian, you can view crontab by /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ and then a file for each user is in there. That's only for user-specific crontab's of course.

For Redhat 6/7 and Centos, the crontab is under /var/spool/cron/.

While many of the answers produce useful results, I think the hustle of maintaining a complex script for this task is not worth it. This is mainly because most distros use different cron daemons.

Watch and learn, kids & elders.

Gentoo:

Depends on your version of cron. Using Vixie cron on FreeBSD, I can do something like this:

(cd /var/cron/tabs && grep -vH ^# *) 

if I want it more tab deliminated, I might do something like this:

(cd /var/cron/tabs && grep -vH ^# * | sed "s/:/      /")

Where that's a literal tab in the sed replacement portion.

It may be more system independent to loop through the users in /etc/passwd and do crontab -l -u $user for each of them.

On Solaris, for a particular known user name:

crontab -l username

To get all user's jobs at once on Solaris, much like other posts above:

for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do crontab -l $user 2>/dev/null; done

Update: Please stop suggesting edits that are wrong on Solaris:

Thanks for this very useful script. I had some tiny problems running it on old systems (Red Hat Enterprise 3, which handle differently egrep and tabs in strings), and other systems with nothing in /etc/cron.d/ (the script then ended with an error). So here is a patch to make it work in such cases :

I'm not really sure the changes in the first egrep are a good idea, but well, this script has been tested on RHEL3,4,5 and Debian5 without any problem. Hope this helps!

i made below one liner script and it worked for me to list all cron jobs for all users.

cat /etc/passwd |awk -F ':' '{print $1}'|while read a;do crontab -l -u ${a} ; done

With apologies and thanks to yukondude.

I've tried to summarise the timing settings for easy reading, though it's not a perfect job, and I don't touch 'every Friday' or 'only on Mondays' stuff.

This is version 10 - it now:

• runs much much faster
• has optional progress characters so you could improve the speed further.
• uses a divider line to separate header and output.
• outputs in a compact format when all timing intervals uencountered can be summarised.
• Accepts Jan...Dec descriptors for months-of-the-year
• Accepts Mon...Sun descriptors for days-of-the-week
• tries to handle debian-style dummying-up of anacron when it is missing
• tries to deal with crontab lines which run a file after pre-testing executability using "[ -x ... ]"
• tries to deal with crontab lines which run a file after pre-testing executability using "command -v"
• allows the use of interval spans and lists.
• supports run-parts usage in user-specific /var/spool crontab files.

I am now publishing the script in full here.

I tend to use following small commands to list all jobs for single user and all users on Unix based operating systems with a modern bash console:

1. Single user

 echo "Jobs owned by $USER" && crontab -l -u $USER

2. All users

for wellknownUser in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd);
   do
      echo "Jobs owned by $wellknownUser";
      crontab -l -u $wellknownUser;
      echo -e "\n";
      sleep 2;  # (optional sleep 2 seconds) while drinking a coffee
   done
