Welcome to U&L. Have you gone through the documentation for cron on Solaris? Is there a more specific issue you want to address?

You might want to check the syntax of your script at shellcheck.net It's missing several lines at the bottom, for example.

Let suppose your script is located in /path/to/script.sh. You should make it executable:

chmod 700 /path/to/script.sh

Then executing crontab -e you get open editor (probably vi) where you enter

0 2 * * * /path/to/script.sh

This will execute the script once per day at 2h 0 minutes in the night.
If you want to execute it every 4 hours you can enter (Linux)

0 */4 * * * /path/to/script.sh

For Solaris you may need to enter the record on this way:

0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /path/to/script.sh

You may redirect the STDOUT and/or STDERR to file by your choise
