+.SH NAME
+run-parts \- run scripts found in a directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B run-parts <directory>
+.LP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B run-parts
+is a utility that will run scripts that are found in a directory.  For example,
+it might be useful to create an /etc/cron.daily directory and put scripts in
+there for daily cron jobs.  Then
+.B run-parts
+can be called once a day from root's crontab to run all the scripts found in
+/etc/cron.daily:
+
+40 4 * * * run-parts /etc/cron.daily
+
+.B run-parts
+automatically skips files with certain suffixes that are generally associated
+with backup or extra files.  Any file that ends in one of these will be silently
+ignored:  ~ ^ , .bak .new .rpmsave .rpmorig .rpmnew .swp
+.SH AUTHOR
+Patrick J. Volkerding <volkerdi@slackware.com>, with ideas borrowed from the
+Red Hat and Debian versions of this utility.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
