Configuring job to run every five minutes

How can I configure a cfagent job to run every five minutes?

According to the documentation it lists, you can configure to run at an
offset of the hour, but not run every 5 minutes.

http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html
In the section:
Cfengine classes
* A day of the week (in the form Monday Tuesday Wednesday..). 
* An hour of the day (in the form Hr00, Hr01 ... Hr23). 
* Minutes in the hour (in the form Min00, Min17 ... Min45). 
* A five minute interval in the hour (in the form Min00_05, Min05_10 ...
Min55_00) 
* A quart hour (in the form Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) 
* An abbreviated time with quarter hour specified (in the form Hr00_Q1,
Hr23_Q4 etc.) 
* A day of the month (in the form Day1 ... Day31). 
* A month (in the form January, February, ... December). 
* A year (in the form Yr1997, Yr2001). 


I am trying to configure the system to check critical services every five
minutes and restart them if necessary.

Example, that is not quite correct:
This only restarts the service on the 5 minute of the hour.

Min00_05::
Linux::
   "sendmail" restart "service sendmail start" inform=true
   "sshd" restart "service sshd start" inform=true
   "mysqld" restart "service mysqld start" inform=true
   "ncftpd" restart "service ncftpd start" inform=true
   "/usr/bin/postmaster" restart "service postgresql start" inform=true
   "smbd" restart "service smb start" inform true
   "xfs" restart "service xfs start" inform=true
   "httpd" restart "service httpd start" inform=true
   "lpd" restart "service lpd start" inform=true
   "nfsd" restart "service nfs start" inform=true
   "identd" restart "service identd start" inform=true
   "nscd" restart "service ncsd start" inform=true



Thanks for any help you can provide.
