How do i check for crons running everyminute with grep * * * * *?

I tried
grep *\ *\ *\ *\ * /var/spool/cron/*
and
grep \*\ \*\ \*\ \*\ \* /var/spool/cron/*

Use fgrep, then you don't have to worry about all those backslashes

fgrep '* * * * *' /var/spool/cron/*

try putting the expression in double quotes to protect from shell:

grep "\* *\* *\* *\* *" /var/spool/cron/*
