save your shell script somewhere e.g. /home/user/test.sh
use 'crontab -e' command to open the configuration file.
schedule your job as follows:
hour min day month year command

Suppose you want to execute shell script every day at 18:30:

18 30 * * * /bin/sh /home/user/test.sh

save the file.
restart the cron service:
/etc/init.d/cron restart

Thats it
