minutes | hour | day | month | day of week | username | command
0         8      *     *       *             myuser    /etc/init.d/myservice.sh start
0         14     *     *       *             myuser    /etc/init.d/myservice.sh stop

Replace myuser with whatever is appropriate. (probably root)

Also, belongs on serverfault or superuser
