Instead of joining 2 scripts, you can write another caller script which will invoke test1 & test2 every 3 minutes:-
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
while (true)         # Infinite while loop
do
   /etc/test1        # Running test1
   /www/test2        # Running test2
   sleep 180         # Sleeping for 3 minutes.
done

OR you can schedule them in cron

As long as the scripts take less then 3 minutes this should fire every 3 minutes..
Code:
while :
do
  sleep 180 &          # Run sleep in the background
  /path/to/dir/test1
  /path/to/dir/test2
  wait                 # wait for sleep to finish
done

You can also use crontab utility for this
First Put your script into one single script and then edit the crontab
Suppose the new name of the script containing both of your script is test3.sh

Code:
 Crontab -e
*/3 * * * * /Path to script test3.sh
