check crontab entry permission

[Mag0007]

I am trying to check if the entries/scripts in crontab have other permission to write (chmod 750).

I can get the scripts easily by:
crontab -l | awk {'print $6'}

But how do I check the permissions of them?

TIA

A starting point:
find `crontab -l | awk '!/^#/{print $6}'` -follow ! -perm 750

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV: thanks!

what does the "!" do in -follow ! perm 750?

I want to find files in that list which do NOT have 750 permission.

man find

It negates the -perm value, ie finds any where the permissions aren't 750.
