crontab
 
I want to automate a process every day from 1 to 3 AM, every 2 minutes using Crontab.

But I don't have any clue how to do it?

Is the script below correct?

2 1,2,3 * * * rm /home/someuser/tmp/*

I dont't think it is correct.

Thank you.

Every two minutes would be
*/2 1,2,3 * * * rm /home/someuser/tmp/*

See man crontab for additional info.

*/2 1-3 * * * rm /home/someuser/tmp/*
