CRON entries

Can anyone explain what these cron entries are for, when the times are determined and what the ramifications of changing them could be?

47 15 * * * /usr/lib/cc-cfw/platform/invagent/bin/cc-invagent

59 * * * * /usr/lib/patch/swupas > /dev/null 2>&1

44 3 * * * /usr/lib/patch/swupAuto > /dev/null 2>&1

I don't remember the installs asking me for any of these tidbits..

cc-invagent - inventory agent that collects system info such as installed pkgs and patches, patch analysis, and sends that to Sun Update Connection. Allows you to see your software invenotry and recommended updates at the portal.

swupas - The agent responsible for carrying out jobs that are tasked at the Sun Update Connection.

swupas - updates local analysis cache used by Update Manager so you see fress data when UM is launched, also used by the notification mechanism to determine whether or not there are new updates available.

Times are reandomized when the entries are created so changing them shouldn't hurt. However changing the frequency of execution is not advised.
