Operating Systems Solaris Cron job running even after cron is removed Post 302728725 by Scott on Thursday 8th of November 2012 10:01:30 AM

It was still running even when commented out, before you removed it?

And you're absolutely sure it's that job, for that user?

Is it still running from a previous run (i.e. like a daemon)?

Is logging (/etc/default/cron) on? Can you check the log file?
