Hi All! I am looking for a tool that will take a crontab and convert it to some kind of "graphical" representation. It doesn't have to be pretty, just so that we can get a visual display of what is happening. If all it does is created an ASCII table with X's at the specific places, that would be OK. HTML would be fine, as well. It would also be nice if we could combine multiple crontabs. Any tips would be greatly appreaciated.

Unfortunately Webmin requires an extra port across the firewall, which is we can't allow. Even opening port 80 would not ne allowed. Creating it as ASCII or HTML would allow us to either parse it locally or pass it back through the firewall to our management station.

Webmin does operate in secure mode (https) and can also be put on an obscure port which would be tough to find. Should not be much of a security risk. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

You should give kcron a try, if you run it as root it will show you all users crontabs.

Oops. Forgot one important thing. It cannot be an X applications as we need to run it on a machines behind firewalls. We can transfer text files through the firewall very easier, so that why I said that it can be plain ASCII or HTML. regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.

It should be easy to modify this: http://dcfonline.sfu.ca/ying/projects/ppcron/ Otherwise, there's the perl Set::Crontab module. -- -ckm

Bingo! ppcron seems to do the trick. There are very few jobs spread out across out 80 machines that do not start at least once a day. Therefore a weekly list would be sufficient. However, it would still be fairly easy to manipulate ppcron to display a monthly list (I hope). I wasn't aware of the Set::Crontab module, but I just found it on CPAN. The Schedule::Cron::Events also looks interesting. regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
