You can use the scheduler in the Director to do this. It will use the underlying OS system (cron on UNIX, at on Windows) to do this so that subsystem must be enabled.

Yes.
Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'

As noted, yes - you'll need to 'Add to schedule' for every hour of the day you want it to run and hope it never takes more than an hour to run.

Yes, but there's no "every hour" setting - you need a separate entry for each time that you want the job to run. If it's already (still) running at any of these times, the new instance will not start.
