    Hi Anurag,

    Cron trigger Contains schedule information for a scheduled job. CronTrigger is similar to a cron job on UNIX systems. This object is available in API version 17.0 and later.

    Example:-

    List<CronTrigger> jobs = [Select Id, CronJobDetail.Name, State, NextFireTime From CronTrigger limit 10];
    for(CronTrigger job : jobs)
    {
    System.debug(job);
    }

    thanks.
