But this disable job stilled running on<BR />time. Please explain me why? I well know we can modify cron job by "crontab -e"<BR /><BR />Best regards,<BR />Worapoj Sun, 18 Jun 2000 10:29:57 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/crontab-problem/m-p/2426597#M1538 Worapoj P. 2000-06-18T10:29:57Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/crontab-problem/m-p/2426598#M1539 cron reads in the crontabs when it starts up. The "crontab -e" command signals cron to reread the edited crontab. You can kill and restart cron to force the reread. But you are better off using "crontab -e".
