RUN-PARTS(8)                                         RUN-PARTS(8)


NAME

run-parts - run scripts or programs in a directory

SYNOPSIS

run-parts [--test] [--verbose] [--report] [--umask=umask] [--help] [--version] directory

DESCRIPTION

run-parts runs a number of scripts or programs found in a single directory directory. Filenames should consist entirely of upper and lower case letters, digits, under- scores, and hyphens. Subdirectories of directory and files with other names will be silently ignored. Scripts must follow the #!/bin/interpretername convention in order to be executed. They will not automatically be executed by /bin/sh. The files found will be run in the lexical sort order of the filenames. OPTIONS --test print the names of the scripts which would be run, but don't actually run them. --verbose print the name of each script to stderr before run- ning. --report similiar to --verbose, but only prints the name of scripts which produce output. The script's name is printed to whichever of stdout or stderr the script first produces output on. --umask=umask Sets the umask to umask before running the scripts. umask should be specified in octal. By default the umask is set to 022. -- Specifies that this is the end of the options. Any filename after -- will be not be interpreted as an option even if it starts with a hyphen. --help Display usage information and exit. --version Display version and copyright and exit.
