and how should i write the script
like this?

You are correct about the scheduling line.

As for the command itself, remember that the commands in crontab may not be executed by the user who wrote the crontab, and therefore you should be as specific as possible. Write the full path to the script (so if it's /home/user/bin/scripts, write all of that out). This way, no matter what the executing user's $PATH is, the script will still be run.
