Thinking of it, you could very well have jobs running without anyone connected...How will you find out that? with ps?
You will have to go through all /var/spool/cron... etc...
I usually keep a userlist file I use to kill everything at 20:00 (so that I can do some cleanup and sanity check before backups, people having specific jobs or who need to works after have to see with me... (and I remove them temporarily from the list...).
Could you not use that approach for a start? (machines are to not work from 21:00 -9:00, so who/what are the exceptions...)
