Please, issue "man cron" first before asking these questions.

it will be issued every 5th minute of an hour. 0:05, 1:05, etc.

It won't work because there is no path to the script.

It might still no work if you provide the path because cron doesn't pass any environment to the scripts called by it and i can't see any environment set in your code. Maybe it will stop saying "can't find df" or something such.
