A series of recurring jets occurred at the edge of an active region NOAA 11459 on 2012 April 20, and they were observed simultaneously at EUV and soft X-ray wavelengths. They also were sometimes associated with a hard X-ray source at the base region. The jets might have resulted from magnetic reconnection between the newly emerging flux and the preexisting magnetic field that corresponded to the footpoint region of large-scale coronal loops. We obtained two periods of 171 angstrom intensity variations at the jet footpoint region, which were about 5 and 13 min. At the jet base, the short and long periodic brightenings might have originated from magneto-acoustic waves and magnetic reconnection. It is plausible that the p-modes might possibly trigger magnetic reconnection, and that reconnection might release stored magnetic energy to produce the jets.
