"Support for /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly and /etc/"
"cron.monthly is provided in Debian through the default setting of the /etc/"
"crontab file (see the system-wide example in I<crontab>(5)).  The default "
"system-wide crontab contains four tasks: run every hour, every day, every "
"week and every month.  Each of these tasks will execute B<run-parts> "
"providing each one of the directories as an argument.  These tasks are "
"disabled if B<anacron> is installed (except for the hourly task) to prevent "
"conflicts between both daemons."

"As described above, the files under these directories have to pass some "
"sanity checks including the following: be executable, be owned by root, not "
"be writable by group or other and, if symlinks, point to files owned by "
"root.  Additionally, the file names must conform to the filename "
"requirements of B<run-parts>: they must be entirely made up of letters, "
"digits and can only contain the special signs underscores ('_') and hyphens "
"('-').  Any file that does not conform to these requirements will not be "
"executed by B<run-parts>.  For example, any file containing dots will be "
"ignored.  This is done to prevent cron from running any of the files that "
"are left by the Debian package management system when handling files in /etc/"
"cron.d/ as configuration files (i.e.\\& files ending in \\&.dpkg-dist, \\&."
"dpkg-orig, \\&.dpkg-old, and \\&.dpkg-new)."
