RUN\-PARTS

NAME

SYNOPSIS

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, underscores, 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 running.

--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.

--arg=argument

Pass argument to the scripts. Use --arg once for each argument you want passed.

--

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.
