job schedule automatic in hudson

Question

**- Hello,

i am scheduling jobs in Hudson. want to schedule by day of week not by day of month. Like i want to schedule job#1 on Monday and Wednesday and Job#2 on Tuesday and Thursday. i tried following syntax,

Blockquote

job#1 :-- 30 11 * * 1,3 job#2 :-- 30 11 * * 2,4

Blockquote

but job#1 got triggered on Tuesday.i think problem is in day count or syntax ?

Help is greatly appreciated !**

The cron expression seems fine, do you have any other build triggers? E.g. source control changes. What does build log claims have triggered job#1 build on Tuesday? BTW do those hyphens (--) present in you build trigger?
