                <schedule><cron_expr>*/5 * * * *</cron_expr></schedule>
                <run><model>alertreminder/cron::Abdcart</model></run>
            </alertreminder_abdcart>            
        </jobs>
    </crontab>

and then a functions ready to execute

class AN_Alertreminder_Model_Cron{	
	public function Abdcart(){
		//do something
      }
