This would run the script once a day at 01:30 am. If you want to run the script every 90 minutes, you need two entries in the crontab, like:
Code:
0 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 * * * /export/....
30 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22 * * * /export/....

(assuming you want every 90 minutes starting at midnight).

Same here. To run this script every two hours you need:
Code:
0 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /export/...

Note: Solaris' cron does not support the slash notation, like
Code:
0 */2 * * * /export/...

Every 30 minutes would be:
Code:
0,30 * * * * ....

Every 45 minutes would need 3 lines:
Code:
0,45 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 * * * ....
30 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22 * * * ....
15 2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23 * * * ...

Note, that the first field in the crontab helds the minutes on the clock, not an interval.
