CRONNEXT(1)                     User Commands                    CRONNEXT(1)

NAME         top

       cronnext - time of next job cron will execute

SYNOPSIS         top

       cronnext [-i users] [-e users] [-s] [-a] [-t time] [-q time] [-l]
                [-c] [-f] [-h] [-V] [file]...

DESCRIPTION         top

       Determine the time cron will execute the next job.  Without
       arguments, it prints that time considering all crontabs, in number of
       seconds since the Epoch, rounded to the minute. This number can be
       converted into other formats using date(1), like date --date
       @43243254

       The file arguments are optional. If provided, cronnext uses them as
       crontabs instead of the ones installed in the system.

OPTIONS         top

       -i user,user,user,...
              Consider only the crontabs of the specified users.  Use
              *system* for the system crontab.

       -e user,user,user,...
              Do not consider the crontabs of the specified users.

       -s     Do not consider the system crontab, usually the /etc/crontab
              file.  The system crontab usually contains the hourly, daily,
              weekly and montly crontabs, which might be better dealt with
              anacron(8).

       -a     Use the crontabs installed in the system in addition to the
              ones passed as file arguments. This is implicit if no file is
              passed.

       -t time
              Determine the next job from this time, instead of now.  The
              time is expressed in number of seconds since the Epoch, as
              obtained for example by date +%s --date "now + 2 hours", and
              is internally rounded to the minute.

       -q time
              Do not check jobs over this time, expressed in the same way as
              in option -t.

       -l     Print the whole entries of the jobs that are the next to be
              executed by cron.  The default is to only print their next
              time of execution.

       -c     Print every entry in every crontab with the next time it is
              executed.

       -f     Print all jobs that are executed in the given interval.
              Requires option -q.

       -h     Print usage output and exit.

       -V     Print version and exit.
