openVMS is not UNIX - Dec UNIX (now renamed) is. I think you must be on Dec UNIX of some sort.. Tru64? yes? Otherwise your question does not make any sense to me...

If you are running Open VMS, then you have HELP pages that would explain how to remove (delete) script(s) and kill (I believe it's stop) the processes. Multiple instances would be from running the batch job either continuously or having it start up again before the last one was completed.

The VMS commands are: DELETE filename and STOP/ID=process identifier
You have to own the processes, or have privilege.

But I still cannot fathom how a cron job could possibly be on VMS....?

Gee, it's been way too long but I seem to remember a utility that allowed 'UNIX' type commands which may have included cron.

I was more trying to point the op to a solution within VMS versus keeping him coming back with more questions.
