Certainly, cron can run a script every 5 minutes, and that script can check if you are connected (to what? I'm guessing a dial-up Internet connection), then either make a connection if there is not one or use the existing connection if there is one.
Best would be to show us what you are doing now (the script and the related crontab entry, or whatever "using cron" refers to) and show us the error it is logging (or whatever other evidence it leaves of its failure).

Hi friends...
I'm trying to run an application each XX time, I'm using cron but with it I
can't do it... I have a script to send a email to my admin but I need to use
this script since I connect and each 5 minutes.
Example:
10:32 -> connect --> run this script
10:37 -> run the script
10:42 -> run the script
...
Thank you very much
