run-parts runs a number of scripts or programs found in a single directory directory. Filenames should not end in tilde, .bak, .dpkg-*, or .pre_fcopy, .notslocate or .disabled . Subdirectories of directory will be silently ignored.
All the files should be proper executables, either scripts or other kinds of executables.
The files found will be run in the lexical sort order of the filenames.
