crontab -r question

If I run crontab -r to remove the crontab entry for a user, do I need to restart cron for the change to go into affect?

Thanks

Nope. The crontab command takes care of it, whether adding, removing, or editing crontabs. You'd only need to restart cron manually if you edited a crontab file manually.

No. The crontab commands automatically tell cron that a change has been made.
