Anywhere. Depends on your configuration.
usually in /var/opt/oracle.
I would check dbstart/dbshut scripts.
They usually have entry.
But it does not mean that the oratab file SHOULD be there.
Meanwhile, how long will it take you to do a system wide search?

Cron files can be found under /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> where <username> is the user that the cron job will run under.

To edit a cron job, log in as that user and enter crontab -e to go into the edit mode. If you prefer to use vi for your editor, perform "setenv EDITOR vi" before the crontab -e command.

If you're root, you can use crontab -e <username> to edit any user's crontab file.

HTH,
Ron
