Package: debianutils
Version: 5.23.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I'm having troubles monitoring what happens during the cron.daily process.
While a --time option (see bug#282553) might help, I got the feeling that
after some trials I'd have to tweak it further. So, for maximum flexibility,
I turned to -A and -B which allow a user-supplied utility to be called
after or before each script execution. Such utility can log the time, but also
examine various other things.
I add a patch for run-parts.c and run-parts.8.
