I'm not sure what your particular needs are without more information but, one way is not to "stop" it all but to control what it does with a semaphore file. If it's scheduled in cron, then you probably have it there for a reason. If you want to "disable" it temporarily, then add some logic to the script to check for the existence of the semaphore file, call it "DISABLE.DAEMON". If the file exists, then just skip over daemon code. Now you can control the daemon by touching and removing a file.
