Hi! What if run-parts checks ".dpkg*" and ".disable*" and ".whatever" extensions and it will prevented from running this types of extensions after dot. Maybe also can be a solution that after "." only 3 characters [a-zA-Z] are allowed. (.php .pl .cgi .sh .py ... etc)
But the most important thing I think to update the manual of run-parts, because there is no word about filename.ext is prohibited. What is more that there is nothing in the syslog about it (e.g warning: /etc/cron.hourly/script.sh not executed, wrong filename). (I have used Debian Etch, when I faced with this issue) Regards: Csaba Lack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
