.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B run-parts <directory>

|
.LP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B run-parts
|
|
is a utility that will run scripts that are found in a directory. For example,
|
|
it might be useful to create an /etc/cron.daily directory and put scripts in
|
|
there for daily cron jobs. Then
|
|
.B run-parts
|
|
can be called once a day from root's crontab to run all the scripts found in
|
|
/etc/cron.daily:
|
|
|
|
40 4 * * * run-parts /etc/cron.daily
|
|
|
|
.B run-parts
|
|
automatically skips files with certain suffixes that are generally associated
|
|
with backup or extra files. Any file that ends in one of these will be silently
|
|
ignored: ~ ^ , .bak .new .rpmsave .rpmorig .rpmnew .swp
|
|
.SH AUTHOR

Patrick J. Volkerding <volkerdi@slackware.com>, with ideas borrowed from the

|
Red Hat and Debian versions of this utility.
