    You can use the command line crontab -l (the lowercase letter L) to list your jobs (I think)
    and crontab -e to edit them.

    Take extreme care not to use crontab -r ; it will erase all of your jobs without warning.

    I say "I think" because I currently have no CPanel cron jobs to test out this theory.

    if you have a vps and you want all your crontabs, backup /var/spool/cron/

    Kind regards,
