RUN-PARTS(8)							  RUN-PARTS(8)

NAME
       run-parts - run scripts found in a directory

SYNOPSIS
       run-parts <directory>

DESCRIPTION
       run-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

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