Paul,
Yes, Slackware has an /etc/cron.d directory.
The modified crontab entries for snippets in that directory are
documented
in the crontab(5) man page, at least on my systems.
When I run `man crontab(5)' nothing happens:
$ man crontab(5)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
`man crond' tells me how to run the daemon.
The syntax is:
man section_number something_to_lookup
so
man 5 crontab
