Here is the script for every 30 min

00,30 * * * * [path_to_file]/myscript.sh

Whats is the script to run the same with each reboot

@reboot 00,30 * * * * [path_to_file]/myscript.sh

Is the above line right?

no. These are two separate rules.

man 5 crontab
       Instead  of  the  first  five  fields, one of eight special strings may
       appear:

              string         meaning
              ------         -------
              @reboot        Run once, at startup.
