Assuming the moodle cron is set up - http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Cron

Then in /local/mymodule/version.php you should have a line that says

$module->cron = 60*15; // Number of seconds, so 15*60 = 15 minutes.

This will then run your cron every 15 minutes.

You should also use lib.php for the cron rather than cron.php (assuming its Moodle 2.x)

eg in /local/mymodule/lib.php

function local_mymodule_cron() {
    // Code here
}
