Disable system crontab job in Magento

Is it possible to disable system crontab job (for example "catalog_product_index_price_reindex_all" from Mage_Catalog) via app/etc/local.xml?

I'd say to avoid hacking the shell indexer or the core.

Create a custom module and rewrite the schedule to run for example on the 31st of February (which will never occur).

Or if you want to disable it globally, and avoid running it even when you really need a reindex all, then just overwrite the catalog/observer observer model and add your reindexProductPrices() method where you just return out of the method.

This is the solution, but you should rewrite the Mage/Catalog/etc/config.xml with your custom module

Fast Solution:

go to your core and delete the code

Example: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/etc/config.xml

remove 

<crontab>
    <jobs>
        <catalog_product_index_price_reindex_all>
            <schedule>
                <cron_expr>0 2 * * *</cron_expr>
            </schedule>
            <run>
                <model>catalog/observer::reindexProductPrices</model>
            </run>
        </catalog_product_index_price_reindex_all>
    </jobs>
</crontab>

Solution 2:

go to */shell/indexer.php

find this code near line 154

        if ($this->getArg('reindex')) {
            $processes = $this->_parseIndexerString($this->getArg('reindex'));
        } else {
            $processes = $this->_parseIndexerString('all');
        }

comment the $processes = $this->_parseIndexerString('all');

to be 

        if ($this->getArg('reindex')) {
            $processes = $this->_parseIndexerString($this->getArg('reindex'));
        } else {
            // $processes = $this->_parseIndexerString('all');
        }
