cron reads the files in /etc/cron.d in addition to /etc/crontab and the per-user crontab files. See the cron(8) manpage. The files in /etc/cron.d are supposed to be crontab files, not scripts like those being run using run-parts. -- regards, kushal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
