a/dcron-4.5-x86_64-12.txz: Rebuilt. Rebase the run-parts script on the latest version from Fedora's crontabs package. Thanks to avian. a/elilo-3.16-x86_64-13.txz: Rebuilt. Patched to disable the Confidential Computing blob for SEV-SNP, which fixes booting a 5.19 kernel with the EFI stub enabled. If you use elilo, be sure to either run eliloconfig again or manually copy (and rename) the proper elilo binary to your EFI System Partition. Thanks to PiterPunk. a/sysklogd-2.4.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. ap/most-5.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/cmake-3.24.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. x/ibus-table-1.16.10-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. extra/brltty/brltty-6.5-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. extra/php80/php80-8.0.22-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

.TH RUN-PARTS 8 "05 Aug 2022" "Slackware Version 15.1"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
run-parts \- run scripts found in a directory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B run-parts [ --list | --test ] <directory>
|
|
.LP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B run-parts
|
|
is a utility that will run scripts that are found in a directory. For example,
|
|
it might be useful to create an /etc/cron.daily directory and put scripts in
|
|
there for daily cron jobs. Then
|
|
.B run-parts
|
|
can be called once a day from root's crontab to run all the scripts found in
|
|
/etc/cron.daily:
|
|
|
|
40 4 * * * run-parts /etc/cron.daily
|
|
|
|
.B run-parts
|
|
automatically skips files with certain suffixes that are generally associated
|
|
with backup or extra files. Any file that ends in one of these will be silently
|
|
ignored: ~ ^ , .bak .new .rpmsave .rpmorig .rpmnew .swp
|
|
|
|
The execution of files can be allowed or denied by creating file
|
|
.B jobs.allow
|
|
or
|
|
.B jobs.deny
|
|
which work similarly to other allow/deny config files. The file must be
|
|
created in the specified directory.
|
|
|
|
Randomization of jobs can be configured in the
|
|
.IR /etc/default/run-parts
|
|
file. To enable randomization of jobs, set the RANDOMIZE parameter to 1
|
|
and set the RANDOM parameter to an integer which determines a random
|
|
seed. Additionally, you may configure the RANDOMTIME parameter (again,
|
|
by specifying an integer) to provide an additional level of
|
|
randomization. Jobs are not randomized when the RANDOM and RANDOMTIME
|
|
parameters are set to 0. Values in these two parameters must be set to
|
|
1 or larger to provide a good enough randomization.
|
|
|
|
Randomization of cron jobs can be useful for shared networks, where
|
|
multiple cron jobs executed at once can cause spikes in traffic,
|
|
especially during daily jobs. With randomized jobs, the workload is
|
|
evenly distributed throughout the day.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --list
|
|
print names of all files (not limited to executables), but don't run
|
|
them. This option can't be used with
|
|
.B test
|
|
option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B --test
|
|
print names of files, which would be run.
