Description
run-parts is able to run scripts in a directory. The command run-parts is most often used for cron.daily jobs.
How to test
As root try to execute run-parts with(out) options. Pay attention to directory, which you'll run. For example prelink in /etc/cron.daily runs quite long. You might need create your own directory with test files.
- Execute: run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily (list files, which would be executed)
- Execute: run-parts --list /etc/cron.daily (list all files, which are not filtered)
- Run command tail -f /var/log/cron in one terminal (as root).
- Execute: run-parts /etc/cron.daily
Expected Results
Scripts in your directory were executed.
- This can be verified by checking /var/log/cron, where are logged starting/finishing of jobs eg:
Jan 4 08:39:47 hostname run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[3204]: starting tmpwatch
Jan 4 08:39:47 hostname run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[6432]: finished tmpwatch
