Re: cron.d scripts

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 understood :-) Cheers! Pol -- To UNSUBSC

cron.d scripts

Hi all :-) doing a check of my system, I see some scripts in /etc/cron.d/ if my /etc/crontab contains: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 17 ** * * rootcd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 6* *
