cron.hourly daily weekly monthly are just convenience dirs that are not really part of cron but simply use a script named run-parts to buzz the files in certian dirs. you can look at the script with less /usr/bin/run-parts Now that I look at it I belive you can place a file in cron.d with the format of a crontab. On my 7.2 system there is a file named kmod that has just such an entry. you can see in /etc/crontab where is set up to run run-parts for the various times.
