using curly braces for 'every' block?

[dor...@est.org]

Would someone explain either how to use curly braces with every, or why it's not valid?

I don't understand why this:

every %w(tue wed thu fri sat), :at => '4:30am' { cron_runner "direct:fidelity JOB=1" }

is not equivalent to this:

every %w(tue wed thu fri sat), :at => '4:30am' do; cron_runner "direct:fidelity JOB=1"; end

Thanks!

Because the former is not valid Ruby syntax. The following would be equivalent:

every(%w(tue wed thu fri sat), :at => '4:30am') { cron_runner "direct:fidelity JOB=1" }
