Disable Partial / All Cron in WHM/Cpanel Server (Except Root)

Cronjobs is somewhat a massive activity and could affect the overall server performance. And so, as administrator, we need to disable some user's cronjobs to relieve the server load. There is a tricky but simple way to disable partial cronjob in WHM/Cpanel based server. Here are the very simple steps : 1. Create a directory /var/spool/cron.disabled # mkdir /var/spool/cron.disabled 2. Move the cronjobs you want to be disabled # mv /var/spool/cron/username /var/spool/cron.disabled 3. Restart http/apache server to take effect # /etc/init.d/httpd restart
