Hi,Are cron jobs that are scheduled by including them in the /etc/cron.daily run parallel or sequentially? If they are run sequentially, is it possible to get them running parallel?
/etc/cron.daily is run by run-parts. Looking in the man-page yields
So the scripts are run sequentially. Googling then gives bug 213700, which already in 2003 proposed a --parallel option, but that somehow didn't make it. If you want the scripts to run in parallel, you'll have to create some alternative of run-parts to do that (see eg. http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg226669.html)Files are run in the lexical sort order of their names unless the --reverse option is given, in which case they are run in the opposite order.
