Please read the other answers and comments  there   s a lot more information stated and nuances described  hash functions   that I did not know when I answered this question   According to Jenkins  own help  the     button  for the schedule task  5 fields are specified      This field follows the syntax of cron  with minor differences   Specifically  each line consists of 5 fields separated by TAB or whitespace    MINUTE HOUR DOM MONTH DOW   I just tried to get a job to launch at 4 42PM  my approximate local time  and it worked with the following  though it took about 30 extra seconds   42 16         If you want multiple times  I think the following should work   0 16 18 20 22         for 4  6  8  and 10 o clock PM every day

In the job configuration one can define various build triggers  With periodically build you can schedule the build by defining the date or day of the week and the time to execute the build    The format is as follows        MINUTE  0-59   HOUR  0-23   DAY  1-31   MONTH  1-12   DAY OF THE WEEK    0-6    The letter H  representing the word Hash can be inserted instead of any of the values  it will calculate the parameter based on the hash code of your project name  this is so that if you are building several projects on your build machine at the same time  lets say midnight each day  they do not all start there build execution at the same time  each  project starts its execution at a different minute depending on its hash code  You can also specify the value to be between numbers  i e  H 0 30  will return the hash code of the project where the possible hashes are 0-30   Examples    start build daily at 08 30 in the morning  Monday - Friday                                 30 08     1-5   weekday daily build twice a day  at lunchtime 12 00 and midnight 00 00  Sunday to Thursday    00 0 12     0-4     start build daily in the late afternoon between 4 00 p m  - 4 59 p m  or 16 00 -16 59 depending on the projects hash    H 16     1-5    start build at midnight      midnight   or start build at midnight  every Saturday    59 23     6   every first of every month between 2 00 a m  - 02 30 a m       H 0-30  02 01         more on CRON expressions

Try this for 4 PM from Monday to Sunday     0 16         You can check the description messgage displayed while you configuring in  Build periodically  under Jenkins   Refer the screenshot given below       Would last have run at Sunday  November 17  2019 4 00 05 PM IST    would next run at Monday  November 18  2019 4 00 05 PM IST     Screenshot    The seconds in the time   Monday  November 18  2019 4 00 05 PM IST  refers to our current system seconds

That appears to be a cron expression  Note that your example builds only on the first to seventh of every month  at 16 00  You likely have some sort of other error  or Jenkins uses non-standard CRON expressions

User · Answer

Jenkins uses Cron Expressions   You can simply schedule hourly builds by just typing hourly
