cron job that will never execute

Question

Is there any way to create a cron expression for not running the job at all. I though of using this expression :

0 0 0 1 1 ? 3099

Answer 1

Opening your crontab file and deleting the entry would be the adequate way. Or you might as well simlink the executable that's called by the cronjob to an empty shell script.
