Wait, is hourly really the same as '0 * * * *'? That seems off.

I’m a bit confused about the timing syntax; I thought 'hourly' was different from '0 * * * *', but now I'm not so sure.

I remember something about the cron daemon not needing a restart when you change a crontab, but I can't recall the exact details.

Okay, let me think this through. I know the cron daemon doesn't have to run for each existing crontab, so I'll mark that one as false. The other statements seem plausible, but I'll review them just to be sure.

The hourly schedule is definitely not the same as '0 * * * *'. I remember that from the lecture. I'll make sure to mark that one as false.

Wait, I'm confused. If Danner Bank is loaning money, wouldn't that make them an external user? Or is the fact that they have a direct financial interest the key factor here? I need to re-read the question and options carefully.
