>From man run-parts:
run-parts runs a number of scripts or programs found in a
single directory directory. Filenames should consist
entirely of upper and lower case letters, digits, under
scores, and hyphens. Subdirectories of directory and
files with other names will be silently ignored.
So either create a subdirectory called, say, suspended and move them
there, or type mv -i leafnode leafnode.suspended and run-parts will
ignore them.
