Is it possible to set cron to execute a script every 5 minutes, but without executing it immediately after loading?

Question

linux

Hello, I have never asked this question before, but today I noticed that when setting the cron to execute the script every 5 minutes, the first time it is executed immediately after the reboot, is it possible to somehow set the first execution after the first five minutes after the reboot? Thank you!

Cron has nothing to do with this; your script should not be executed after loading - the check should take place inside the script
