Just killing jobs will not solve the issue, you just save time and HP-UX is not PC stuff, some production boxes need maintenance scheduling planified a long time in advance and you have to give very good reason to reboot... (the HP I take care have an uptime if you take off the planned maintenance OR issue ( HW failure...) of above 99.9% and they are not in HA... The planned downtime is about 2 hours per year for all the boxes...).
What I mean is if you haven't found the culprit, it will happen again...
when you looked at PID of cron process, how many processes were running under the same PPID ?
100?
Why are they still running is what you have to solve! cron is waiting for the end of some child process, having cron jobs hanging is not very professional...Some other things you could look at for investigation: Did you have a look at your /var/adm/cron/queuedefs file. How many crontabs files do you have? (in /var/spool/cron/crontabs...)

when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
