Actually, /etc/cron.d/ is part of Linux Standards Base Core Specification 4.0. http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_4.0.0/LSB- Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/etc.html
Yes, .dpkg-* are ignored for a reason, but that also ignores the LSB FHS. If you installed the lsb packages and expect a Linux Standards Base system, then `run-parts --verbose --lsbsysinit /etc/cron.hourly/` should accept `org.debian.my.cron.job.sh` and `debian.org-cron.job.with.dots.sh` and `job.cron` and other filenames with dots. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/run-parts.8.html If the --lsbsysinit option is given, then the names must not end in .dpkg-old or .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-new or .dpkg-tmp, and must belong to one or more of the following namespaces: the LANANA-assigned namespace (^[a-z0-9]+$); the LSB hierarchical and reserved namespaces (^_?([a-z0-9_.]+-)+[a-z0-9]+$); and the Debian cron script namespace (^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$). http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_4.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/etc.html#FHS-NAME-RULES -Linux assigned names says to use dns.name.com names when you do not have a registered name for a particular project. http://www.lanana.org/lsbreg/cron/index.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706565 Title: configs with dots in file name not working in /etc/cron.d To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/706565/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
