How can I see all cron records in CentOs7

Question

How can I see all cron records in CentOs7? Is there a folder with a file that contains all the cron records?

This is a good tutorial I have found in top results in Google for the centos crontab — Victor Leanos, Oct 03 '18 at 08:24

You can find cron jobs from the following locations:

The last entry contains a crontab file for each user who is using crontab.

There is also a default log file for cron daemon, which will contain information about cron runs, /var/log/cron.

Since this is CentOS 7 running systemd, you might also check systemd timers:

systemctl list-unit-files --type=timer

Refer the following file to see the cron records :

/etc/crontab

Also look for files in :

cron.daily, cron.d, cron.hourly,cron.monthly, cron.weekly under /etc and /var/spool/cron/.

To see list of cron jobs under the current user:

crontab -l

To see the logs from /etd/init.d/crond refer /var/log/cron For more refer this.

Could you please tell what are the contents in /etc/crontab.php?

Thank you, I have the /etc/crontab.php file, but it wal last upadted in 2014(!!) Is there a nother possible location where I can find the cron records? – DavSev Feb 27 '17 at 07:04
The actual file could be /etc/crontab, so what does /etc/crontab.php contain? Also look for cron.daily, cron.d, cron.hourly,cron.monthly under /etc and execute crontab -l, if you want to check logs, refer /var/log/cron – ss_iwe Feb 27 '17 at 07:24
