Cron job running even after cron is removed

Hi ,

I have removed a cron for particular user , but cron job seems to be running even after the cron entry is removed. The purpose of the cron was to sendmail to user ( it uses mailx utility )

I have restarted cron and sendmail service still user is getting mail alerts from the cron job. And one thing i noticed is i can see dead.letter generated in user home directory which gets updated with same frequency as the cron is scheduled.

OS= Solaris 10 , zone

How did you remove it? Using the crontab command?

intially it was commented out. later i have even removed the entry via crontab -e but still i can see getting executed

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?

yes logging is enabled.. and i dont see any logs for this job that was removed but still its getting executed
