It's a interesting question. If the cron processes are children of the the main process, then I'd vote for having the main process send a SIGTERM to each child and wait() for a reasonable length of time before giving up. Makes things easier to manage. Obviously, a cron process written by a user is free to ignore the signal, but IMHO it's asking for trouble to do so.
