A Crontab Question

You have to edit the same file you inserted the items into and simply
delete the line for the item you want to remove.  I'm assuming you
have a file called crontab on your system some place.  As for my
Slackware 9.1 system, /var/spool/cron/crontabs contains a file for
each user.  In the specific case of this machine I'm currently using,
there is only one file - called root.  That file contains all my
system wide crontab entries.  Actually, when I type 'crontab -e' as
root, I get popped right into an edit session with system wide crontab
entries as well.

Hope this helps.
