You will need an entry like:
0-59/10 * * * * /root/myscript.sh 2>&1 > /root/myscript.log

This will run it every ten minutes and write a log of any output.

Something like

Code:

0-59/5 * * * * root /root/somescript

In /etc/crontab (you could alternatively do a "crontab -e" while logged in as root, and enter it there).
That executes all hours of the day, every 5 minutes.

See man 5 crontab for more info.
