crontab:show
Show a list of existing cron jobs for current user.
$ crontab -l
try on your machine
The command "crontab -l" is used in Linux and Unix-like operating systems to list the contents of a user's crontab file.
Cron is a time-based task scheduler in these systems, allowing users to schedule recurring tasks or jobs to run at specific times or intervals. Each user typically has their own crontab file, which contains scheduled tasks specific to that user.
The "-l" option in the command tells the crontab command to list (or display) the contents of the user's crontab file.
By running "crontab -l" in the terminal, you can view the scheduled jobs for the user currently logged in. This allows you to check, review, or verify the existing cron jobs that are set up for that user account.
