NAME

       run-parts - run scripts or programs in a directory

SYNOPSIS

       run-parts  [--test]  [--verbose]  [--report] [--lsbsysinit] [--regex=RE] [--umask=umask] [--arg=argument]
       [--exit-on-error] [--help] [--version] [--list] [--reverse] [--] DIRECTORY

       run-parts -V

DESCRIPTION

       run-parts runs all the executable files named within constraints  described  below,  found  in  directory
       directory.  Other files and directories are silently ignored.

       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.

       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_-]+$).

       If  the --regex option is given, the names must match the custom extended regular expression specified as
       that option's argument.

       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.

OPTIONS

       --test print the names of the scripts which would be run, but don't actually run them.

       --list 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.

       -v, --verbose
              print the name of each script to stderr before running.

       --report
              similar 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.

       --reverse
              reverse the scripts' execution order.

       --exit-on-error
              exit as soon as a script returns with a non-zero exit code.

       --lsbsysinit
              use LSB namespaces instead of classical behavior.

       --new-session
              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.

       --regex=RE
              validate filenames against custom extended regular expression RE.  See the EXAMPLES section for an
              example.

       -u, --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.

       -a, --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.

       -h, --help
              display usage information and exit.

       -V, --version
              display version and copyright and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Print the names of all files in /etc that start with `p' and end with `d':

       run-parts --list --regex '^p.*d$' /etc
