You could try just breaking the cronjob up into separate lines:

*/05 * * * * /exec/eerrtis/tttttk/AOOK00000/bin/Packing.sh
*/20 * * * * /exec/eerrtis/tttttk/AOOK00000/bin/Packing.sh

etc.

Hope this helps.

While trying to save, Following error i am getting

"/tmp/crontab.XXXXSqLQDG":4: bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.
Do you want to retry the same edit?

....

If i am doing like

05* * * * /esasa/aslis/m2xtrk/A00000sds/bin/Packing.sh

then it work also

Try the following:

5,20,35,50 * * * * /esasa/aslis/m2xtrk/A00000sds/bin/Packing.sh
or
5 */4 * * * /esasa/aslis/m2xtrk/A00000sds/bin/Packing.sh

Hope this will help you.
