Wait, is this a trick question? I feel like I'm being watched by the cron-ies.

This quiz is making me hungry. I could really go for a cron-nut right about now.

D is definitely false. Anacron jobs can run more than once a day, not just once.

That's right, anacron jobs can run multiple times in a day.

I'm pretty sure C is false. The crond daemon looks for jobs in multiple locations, not just /etc/crontab.

That's correct. The crond daemon actually looks for jobs in multiple locations, not just /etc/crontab.

I'm not sure about E), but I think D) anacron jobs may run only once a day is true. It makes sense for jobs that need to run daily.

I agree with you, Lili. But I also believe E) anacron jobs are used to run cron jobs if the system was powered off when they were scheduled to run is true.

A and E seem to be the correct answers here. Cron jobs can run more than once a minute, and anacron is used to run cron jobs that were missed due to the system being powered off.
