Cronjob to run every other weekday


Hello:

I am trying to setup a cronjob that will run every other Friday, so far I've only been able to find suggestions for creating a script that will check for a flag file or using step values in my crontab.

If I create a cronjob like this:

Min Hr DOM MTH DOW command
0 3 * * 5/2 {script to run}

will it run at 3AM every other Friday.

Thanks...
