At the prompt while logged in as root type:
type crontab -e
put the cursor on the line you wish to remove then hit the 'd' key
(without the quotes - lower case d) twice. That should delete the
entire line.
Then hit the escape key a couple of times. Then hit : followed by a
lower case q, ie: :q
You should see the colon and the q down in the lower left corner of
the screen.. hit return and you are out of there. It's actually much
simpiler than it sounds. type man vi for more information.
