+          run-parts is an utility designed to run all the scripts in a directory.
+
+          It is useful to set up a directory like cron.daily, where you need to
+          execute all the scripts in that directory.
+
+          This implementation of run-parts doesn't accept long options, and
+          some features (like report mode) aren't implemented.
+
+          Unless you know that run-parts is used in some of your scripts
+          you can safely say N here.
