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.
