3 simple steps to setup cronjobs on server and create custom task in your Magento instance.

1. Setup cronjob on server

   crontab -e

   and then

   #cron.sh will run every 5 minutes
   */5 * * * * /bin/sh /path/to/magento/cron.sh

2. Add definition of cron job in app/code/local/K2Service/Cron/etc/config.xml of your module

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <config>
       <modules>
           <K2Service_Cron>
               <version>1.0.0</version>
           </K2Service_Cron>
       </modules>
       <global>
           <models>
               <k2_cron>
                   <class>K2Service_Cron_Model</class>
               </k2_cron>                         
           </models>
       </global>
       <crontab>
           <jobs>
               <k2_cron_job>
                   <schedule>
                       <cron_expr>*/10 * * * *</cron_expr>
                   </schedule>
                   <run>
                       <model>k2_cron/observer::job</model>
                   </run>
               </k2_cron_job>
           </jobs>
       </crontab>
   </config>

3. Create Observer in app/code/local/K2Service/Cron/Model/Observer.php

   <?php
   class K2Service_Cron_Model_Observer {
   
       /** @return void */
       public function job() {
           Mage::log("Custom Cron Job Works");
       }
   }
