What does this command mean in cron? How often will this run? When will it run? Will it run daily?

From crontab(5):

field         allowed values
-----         --------------
minute        0-59
hour          0-23
day of month  1-31
month         1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week   0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

Thus, your line means to run /usr/sbin/update-file.sh every day at 11:56 AM.

Crontab format is: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, command.

So this will run /usr/sbin/update-file.sh at 11:56 AM every day.
