# Title
## Table of contents <!-- omit in toc -->
1. [TL;DR](#tldr)
1. [Further readings](#further-readings)
1. [Sources](#sources)
## TL;DR
Files in `/etc/cron.hourly` and similar need to:
- be executable,
- match the Debian cron script namespace (`^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$`, so script **with an extension** won't work).
```sh
# Print the names of the scripts which would be invoked.
sudo run-parts --report --test '/etc/cron.hourly'
```
