run-parts - run scripts or programs in a directory
run-parts [--test] [--verbose] [--report] [--umask=umask] [--arg=argument]
[--help] [--version] directory
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 [Toc] [Back]
--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.
