How do I find and delete a cron job?

I created a cron job for a wordpress plugin that i no longer want running. I am not very good at navigating around in unix. The cron job was the following:

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://ADDRESS_OF_THE_FILE >/dev/null 2>&1

Does anyone have pointers how to navigate to this cron job and delete it?

Thanks!

  • Run command

    sudo crontab -e  
    

    It will open cron jobs in text editor. Remove your line and save the file :)

    From Temnovit
  • run in console:

    crontab -e
    

    then you will get crontab opened with an editor, simply delete the line there, save the file and quit editor - that's it...
