Sure, but you also need to start the loop and make sure it doesn't die. 
  You could use a script like this to repeat a script and then wait:

---
#!/bin/sh

delay="$1"
shift

"${@}"

at now +  "$delay" <<EOF
"$0" "$delay" "${@}"
EOF
---

Run "repeat.sh 5m /path/to/whatever -args".  The script will run that 
script and args, then schedule itself to run again in at.  The script 
takes care of both running the job you specify and inserting itself into 
the system's scheduler.
