Why does run-parts not like dots in filenames? I'm embarrassed to admit I just spent over half an hour wrangling with the program. Every time I had it run through a directory, it kept skipping a particular file. The filename contained a dot.
Now, the manpage for run-parts clearly states that it will only run filenames consisting of letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens, and that invalid names will be silently skipped. I read that passage a couple of times and didn't notice either of those things. (It is the middle of the night, but still...) So, having done that, I'm curious: why does run-parts have such a narrow view of a "valid filename". It's there for a reason, else why write the validation code? I'm just curious, but it would be nice to know. Sincerely, Aaron -- Aaron Hall : C'mon, Netscape! I can whistle the page in [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Morse faster than you're fetching it!
