To remove a users cron jobs, run this as that user:
Code:
> "$HOME/nocronjobs"
crontab "$HOME/nocronjobs"

To stop all cron jobs (as root):
Code:
kill $(pgrep cron)

(Note that pgrep is not a standard command.)

NAME
atq - Prints the queue of jobs waiting to be run SYNOPSIS
atq [-c | -n] [-q queuename] [user...] The atq command prints the queue of jobs waiting to be run at a later date. These jobs were created with the at command. OPTIONS

In order to look at the queue created by the at command, enter: atq If there are jobs in the queue, a message similar to the following is displayed: root.62169200.a Tue Sep 12 11:00:00 1990 The extension specifies an at job. FILES
