[opensuse] Location of user crontab?
Where does my user crontab get stored? I have to reconstruct it each time I reinstall the system, so I thought I should add it to my backup. Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.4.92-31-default Distro: openSUSE 42.3 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.32.0, Qt: 5.6.2 and Plasma: 5.8.7

As the user concerned do su -c 'crontab -u USER -l > /home/USER/some_folder/some_file_name' and to restore do su -c 'crontab -u USER < /home/USER/some_folder/some_file_name' You could write a small script to dump each user's crontab in some hidden folder his/her homedir - Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

My first crontab entry is always
04 04 * * * crontab -l >$HOME/.crontab-l
:-)
You should NOT do that is the output of 'crontab -l' is: 'no crontab for USER' ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I do not think you need su -c to do that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
