how to update cron daemon without crontab -e?

Our security admin deleted a user who had an active
cron job running once an hour. Now I'm getting the
mail message:

Cron: 0481-134 Cannot set the process credentials for
user <user>

If I (manually) remove the cron job from the former
user's crontab file (or just delete the crontab file
altogether), how can I then get the cron daemon to
update and recognize that it's not supposed to be
executing that script anymore? Can I just kill the
/usr/sbin/cron process and let it start again?
