Ignore my previous reply, whatever I was on, it had insufficient
caffeine :(

cron.d does indeed work here, provided the lines have exactly the same
format as in crontab; e.g. "tail -n 1 /etc/crontab >/etc/cron.d/test"
works as it should.

Are you setting the execute bit on the files in cron.d? In the past, I've
found that this prevents their being run.
