Ok, follow below instructions:-

1. Edit the crontab file
Code:
crontab -e

2. Create an entry for your script:-
Code:
00 6-12 * * * /absolute_path/triggeralert.ksh > /dev/null

3. Save your crontab file.

Note: Replace /absolute_path/ with absolute path of your script: triggeralert.ksh


Above entry will invoke your script once every hour between 6 AM to 12 AM. I hope this helps.
