The cron.hourly directory is a non-standard Linux concept provided by run-parts. The FreeBSD equivalent is periodic, but that's really for system tasks and doesn't have anything more granular than daily.

Yeah, but the comparison was specifically comparing to systemd timers, so I'm pretty sure the GP wasn't considering non-Linux compatibility anyway.
