That is indeed a problem with the distro, but...
$ which run-parts
/usr/bin/run-parts
[tzafrir@canada1 Mozilla]$ file `which run-parts
$ file `which run-parts`
/usr/bin/run-parts: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
$ wc `which run-parts`
30 94 505 /usr/bin/run-parts
Doesn't look as if it would be too hard to grasp on your own. Anyway,
here's run-parts of my system:
--------
#!/bin/bash
# run-parts - concept taken from Debian
# keep going when something fails
set +e
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: run-parts <dir>"
exit 1
fi
if [ ! -d $1 ]; then
echo "Not a directory: $1"
exit 1
fi
for i in $1/* ; do
[ -d $i ] && continue
# Don't run [KS]??foo.{rpmsave,rpmorig,rpmnew} scripts
[ "${i%.rpmsave}" != "${i}" ] && continue
[ "${i%.rpmorig}" != "${i}" ] && continue
[ "${i%.rpmnew}" != "${i}" ] && continue
if [ -x $i ]; then
$i
fi
done
-----------
So basically it runs all the executables from a given directory
