you mean, you want to stop the cron job? or just stop getting
notified that it's doing its thing?
to stop it:
crontab -e
and remove the appropriate line.
to stop getting notified about it:
crontab -e
and put a '&>/dev/null' (no quotes) at the end of the line, so that
its output goes to the trash, and not to your inbox.
