You need a different tool. Crontabs, by definition, specify tasks to
runat certain times. You can't run "this morning's" crontab this
afternoon. The crontabs are constantly monitored, and when a task
becomes due, it's executed.
One approach is to edit the crontab, c

I wanted to execute a user crontab this afternoon that normally runs

I have tried automating the backup of my files by
scheduling the execution of scripts ( I am using rcp to copy the files onto
another fileserver).
The problem encountered is :-
I log in as root and issued the crontab -e
command. Added the following lines
10 16 * * 3 5 /scripts
A better one would be:
$ cd /var/spool/cron
$ for i in *; do echo $i; cat $i; echo '='; done
This would give you a complete list of crontab contents, tag who owns
each entry and show where each crontab file ends.

on the system, instead of doing crontab -u user -l for each user?

The processing done by 'crontab' will sent to 'root' by mail. How can I
stop it.

During an upgrade from RedHat 5.2 to 7.0 I noticed something wrong with
cron. It doesn't work anymore.
When I do a crontab -l it tells me
no crontab for root.
The cron is still where I left it in /var/spool/cron/root
Has anyone come accross this problem and can help me fix it?
