  • 1.  how to list and get scheduled jobs in cron?

    Hi,

    how to list and get scheduled jobs in cron? We have a issue where everyday at 11:15 PM CST, due to some jobs, we see Datastores and volumes are getting disconnected and connected back. Because of which all our VMs are getting hung and restored back after few minutes, we worked with storage team and network team, they confirmed there is no issue from their end.

    Finally after lots of troubleshooting, today, we Powered Off our vCenter and to my surprise, there was no disconnection errors reported on the hosts.

    Hence I would like to know, if there are any scheduled tasks on ESXi or VCSA, which is triggering something at 11:15 PM CST ?

    Please Assist!!!

    for ESXi you can do:

    cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    But I doubt there are any cron jobs that do this. Much more sounds like a backup job which kicks off, or storage snapshots etc?
