True, only if you have the full crontab available as a file. With cfengine, I just edit the cron entry directly without pulling the whole file. But, that is another way to do it. I suppose you could do a
crontab /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> Interesting, I never thought to do it that way. It might be more consistent across platforms than creating different methods for SIGKILL, SIGHUP, restart.
