For an exhaustive answer I'd suggest that you give a look at crontab documentation by typing: man crontab

Typically:
crontab -e edits cron jobs on that host and for that user
crontab -l lists existing cron jobs on that host and for that user

FYI the main syntax for setting up a cron job is:
minute hour monthday month weekday command

For instance, to have myScript.sh running Feb-1 at 2:30PM it should be: 30 14 01 02 * /pathToMyScript/myScript.sh

To have the same running at 2:30PM and 2:45PM it would be: 30,45 14 01 02 * /pathToMyScript/myScript.sh

Hope it'll help
