Arnold,
In the minutes field on crontab, you can add as many values as you want
separated by a colon. Try somthing like this...
00,05,10,15,20,25 and so until 55 * * *
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS IS A MINUTES FIELD WITH MANY VALUES
We use it here and it does the job fine. Try reading crontab manpages
for additional info.
