Is this as simple as commenting out this entry in cron:

root@S9:>crontab -l
#ident  "@(#)root       1.20    01/11/06 SMI"
#
# The root crontab should be used to perform accounting data collection.
#
# The rtc command is run to adjust the real time clock if and when
# daylight savings time changes.
#
