How can I share my cron file to the rest of my group?

Tater_SaladSep 19 2018 — edited Sep 20 2018

HI,

We're using Linux

NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"

VERSION="7.4

I we do not have a common cron file to add our cron jobs to. Our Admin has not set one up.

So I'm relegated to putting commands in my own personal cron file then sharing it to the group.

I don't know if I can use chmod to change permissions on it.

How can I share my cron file so others can access it and add to it if need be. In other words rw access.

I think my physical file is in the directory

/var/spool/cron/crontabs/

But I don't have permission to get to it.

Am I going to need it?

The other question is should we pool our admin and make a case to have our admin set up a global cron file owned by root the way it is in most shops?
