Check out crontab guru. It can tell you when the different timings run – Desirous

@Desirous I did check it out but I wanted to know how are they both different because they are doing the same work for me. – Grays

Answer 1

The correct syntax for every hour job is 0 * * * *.

But you can use both 0 0 * * * * and 0 0 */1 * * * Since */1 means every 1 hour/minute/second like the *.
