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.

Hi all :-)
doing a check of my system, I see some scripts in /etc/cron.d/

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command

Hi all,
I've got a strange issue with cron. I try to run a simple script that

Hello list,
For some reason, jobs defined in /etc/cron.d doesn't get picked up by
cron, while jobs from /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} do !
I have verified this by putting the following commands in /etc/cron:
$ apt-show-versions cron
cron/testing uptodate 3.0pl1-92
$ ps aux |

They're started by cron itself. From 'man cron':
cron also reads /etc/c
Which file is responsible to start programs from cron.d? /etc/inittab ?
(or..?) After what a period will the programs start from this location?
Thanks
Attila
