man cron or man crontabs should tell you where the crontab files are
(on HP /var/spool/cron/crontabs)
but permissions are likely 400 so it won't help you much
Plan A: give the task to someone who does have root permissions
Plan B: write your monitoring script and get your sysadmin to run it =
periodically (via cron)=20
Plan C: get your sysadmin to allow you read on the crontab files (you =
will need to flag any new crontabs which you cannot read)
Plan D: you may be able to get some mileage from examining the cron log
Have you checked/asked the UNIX forums/newsgroups?
