cron

Does anyone know of a tool that will given a cron string for example * * * 1 * * tell you what that string translates to?

I know it's not rocket science but I want to be sure that I'm constructing the correct interval for a scheduled task.

You can stop a single cron job by removing its line from the crontab file. To do that, run the crontab -e command and then delete the line for the specific task. Alternatively, you can stop the cron job by commenting it out in the crontab file.
