cron.daily scripts won't run
I just found the solution for my problem that some of the scripts in
/etc/cron.daily would never run, and I thought i’d share it.
This might be really obvious for some of you, but I thought if I blog this with a clear title it might be of help for some other people as well. I had problems googling this myself, so here is my solution:
Apparently those scripts are not allowed to have extensions such as .sh or
.php. when this is the case the scripts will simply be ignored.

Works like a charm here. Must be something else (are your files executable?)epaulin •
It seems you running on Debian,#man run-parts
It's a old dpkg bug.

Yep, I am running debian..(yes, my files were executable)
After updating that box the problem persists though..

Thank you SO much, this quick fix made the script I spent hours picking over work.
