RUN-PARTS(8)RUN-PARTS(8)NAMErun-parts - run scripts found in a directory
SYNOPSISrun-parts <directory>
DESCRIPTIONrun-parts is a utility that will run scripts that are found in a direc‐
tory. For example, it might be useful to create an /etc/cron.daily
directory and put scripts in there for daily cron jobs. Then 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
run-parts automatically skips files with certain suffixes that are gen‐
erally associated with backup or extra files. Any file that ends in
one of these will be silently ignored: ~ ^ , .bak .new .rpmsave
.rpmorig .rpmnew .swp
