I have created a ruby script file that checks the connection present or not. For example checking port 22 is opened or not.
Firstly I tried with cron job as follows
@reboot find ${HOME}/my_app/check_conn.rb
But it is executing immediately after starting the system.
Now I have to run this script after 5 or 10 min.
How can I do this. Is there any other way for doing this.
Thanks in advance.

Add
sleep 600;
to the beginning of your crontab command to make it wait for 600 seconds before proceeding to the next step.Your new crontab command would look like
@reboot sleep 600; find ${HOME}/my_app/check_conn.rb
