Bug#308911: Vá: Re: Bug#308911: run-parts does not execute links/binaries containing periods in the name
Hi Adam, I am not sure, that this would be more clear for others, but my suggesttion is like this: DESCRIPTION run-parts runs almost all executable files without extensions, found in directory directory. Exact constraints are described below, other files and directories are silently ignored. Regards: Csaba Lack Clint Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007.02.15. 19:39 What if run-parts checks .dpkg* and .disable* and .whatever extensions and it will prevented from running this types of extensions after dot. Maybe also can be a solution that after . only 3 characters [a-zA-Z] are allowed. (.php .pl .cgi .sh .py ... etc) But the most important thing I think to update the manual of run-parts, because there is no word about filename.ext is prohibited. What is more that there is nothing in the syslog about it (e.g warning: /etc/cron.hourly/script.sh not executed, wrong filename). (I have used Debian Etch, when I faced with this issue) What wording would you add to the DESCRIPTION section of the man page to clarify this for you? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello As I learnt recently , run-parts executes cron and this is intended behaviour see man cron not a BUG. best regards Erich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I used run-parts --lsbsysinit --test /etc/cron.daily to test. You would need to use the LSB hierarchical namespace, for example schierer.org-file.sh-blah And the filename would have to start with an underscore, like the manpage explains. Now, couldn't at least a new --relaxed or --syntax=dots,foo,bar option be added that allows the dots, while still ignoring all those .dpkg-* files? (I have files called postgresql-7.4 and postgresql-8.0, and it would be really awful having to rename them postgresql-7_4 or something.) pgp06Ndx2HxT1.pgp Description: PGP signature

Package: debianutils Version: 1.16.2woody1 Links or binaries inside a directory handled by run-pars (like /etc/cron.daily) will not run if a period is part of their name. I'm not sure if this is intended to be so or not. Please follow the simple test attached to this email to reproduce what I belive to be a bug.
