Cron job running even after cron is removed
Hi ,
I have removed a cron for particular user , but cron job seems to be running even after the cron entry is removed. The purpose of the cron was to sendmail to user ( it uses mailx utility )
I have restarted cron and sendmail service still user is getting mail alerts from the cron job. And one thing i noticed is i can see dead.letter generated in user home directory which gets updated with same frequency as the cron is scheduled.
OS= Solaris 10 , zone
