<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>run-parts</B>
runs all the executable files named within constraints described below, found
in directory
<I>directory</I>.
Other files and directories are silently ignored.
<P>
If neither the --lsbsysinit option nor the --regex option is given
then the names must consist entirely of ASCII upper- and lower-case
letters, ASCII digits, ASCII underscores, and ASCII minus-hyphens.
<P>
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_-]+$).
<P>
If the --regex option is given, the names must match the custom
extended regular expression specified as that option's argument.
<P>
Files are run in the lexical sort order (according to the C/POSIX
locale character collation rules) of their names unless the
--reverse option is given, in which case they are run in the
opposite order.

<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>--test</B>
<DD>
print the names of the scripts which would be run, but don't actually run
them.
<DT id="2"><B>--list</B>
<DD>
print the names of the all matching files (not limited to executables),
but don't actually run them.
This option cannot be used with --test.
<DT id="3"><B>-v, --verbose</B>
<DD>
print the name of each script to stderr before running.
<DT id="4"><B>--report</B>
<DD>
similar to
<B>--verbose</B>,
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.
<DT id="5"><B>--reverse</B>
<DD>
reverse the scripts' execution order.
<DT id="6"><B>--exit-on-error</B>
<DD>
exit as soon as a script returns with a non-zero exit code.
<DT id="7"><B>--lsbsysinit</B>
<DD>
use LSB namespaces instead of classical behavior.
<DT id="8"><B>--new-session</B>
<DD>
run each script in a separate process session. If you use this option,
killing run-parts will not kill the currently running script, it will
run until completion.
<DT id="9"><B>--regex=</B><I>RE</I>
<DD>
validate filenames against custom extended regular expression
<I>RE</I>.
See the EXAMPLES section for an example.
<DT id="10"><B>-u, --umask=</B><I>umask</I>
<DD>
sets the umask to
<I>umask</I>
before running the scripts.
<I>umask</I>
should be specified in octal. By default the umask is set to 022.
<DT id="11"><B>-a, --arg=</B><I>argument</I>
<DD>
pass
<I>argument</I>
to the scripts. Use
<B>--arg</B>
once for each argument you want passed.
<DT id="12"><B>--</B>
<DD>
specifies that this is the end of the options. Any filename after
<B>--</B>
will be not be interpreted as an option even if it starts with a
hyphen.
<DT id="13"><B>-h, --help</B>
<DD>
display usage information and exit.
<DT id="14"><B>-V, --version</B>
<DD>
display version and copyright and exit.
<P>
