Shell Script Help!

Attached below is my current script scheduled from crontab to run every 3 minutes every hour except from 2-3Am. We received PNTs files to our inbox directory through FPT. The script processes multiple PNTs files from inbox directory. Each PNT file takes about 1-2 minutes to complete process. But if there is a large amount FTPed of the PNTs files (100-200 files) in the inbox directory came before 2AM then the program take time to get it completed then it will over lap with the other jobs were scheduled to run reports from 2-3AM which use the number of PNTs got processed.
What I need is a way to put the script in idle if the time is between 2-3AM and re-process PNTs files again after 3AM. Like using sleep (???) command. I'm thinking put another line inside while loop before the command line below:
New command line to to idle the process if time is between 2-3AM.
SASPROG=`PathSASCode.sh TMA001ENRPNT_PNTProcessing.sas`

Thank you for all your help!

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
TOUCHFILE=/home/ingxsas/STMA001ENRPNT_PntInputLoop.touch
if [ -f $TOUCHFILE ]
then
  echo $0 already executing, exiting at `date`
  exit 0
fi
touch $TOUCHFILE
 
pntcnt=`ls -l /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox | grep "PNT." | wc -l`
if [[ $pntcnt -gt 0 ]] then
 ls /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox | grep "PNT." > /$ROOTDIR/output/tma/pnt/input/pntprocess.dat
 pntcnt=`wc -l /$ROOTDIR/output/tma/pnt/input/pntprocess.dat|awk '{print $1}`
 sleep 10
 curcnt=1
 while (( $curcnt <= $pntcnt ))
 do
  filename=`head -$curcnt /$ROOTDIR/output/tma/pnt/input/pntprocess.dat | tail -1`
  New command line to to idle the process if time is between 2-3AM.
  SASPROG=`PathSASCode.sh TMA001ENRPNT_PNTProcessing.sas`
  sas $SASPROG -sysparm $filename \
       -work /$WORKDIR/imatemp \
       -log /$ROOTDIR/output/tma/pnt/logs \
       -print /$ROOTDIR/output/tma/pnt/logs
  rc=$?
  if (($rc != 0))
    then
    echo PNT Processing Terminated due to bad return code - $filename at `date`
    exit $rc
  fi
 
  sed "s/^/$filename/" /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox/$filename > /$ROOTDIR/output/tma/pnt/archive/$filename
  rc=$?
  if (($rc != 0))
    then
    echo PNT Processing Terminated - error with sed command - $filename at `date`
    exit $rc
 fi
 
  mv /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox/$filename /$ROOTDIR/scp/inbox/archive/$filename
  rc=$?
  if (($rc != 0))
    then
    echo PNT Processing Terminated - error with mv command - $filename at `date`
    exit $rc
  fi
 
  ((curcnt=curcnt+1))
 done
 echo Successful process of $pntcnt PNT files completed at `date`
fi
rm $TOUCHFILE
