[Bug 38022] Re: run-parts doesn't run script with sh extension

[dregad]

I can live with run-parts not executing files containing a '.', but it
would certainly make things easier to troubleshoot if the system
actually logged information about skipping a script, instead of silently
doing so.

  run-parts doesn't run script with sh extension

Bug description:
  With default cron configuration you can only place a shell script to
  /etc/cron.* directory and it is executed by run-parts via cron at the
  right time. But if the script has "sh" extension (e.g. script.sh) it
  is not executed without any warning even if it has correct execute
  rights (e.g. 755). The same will NOT happen if you place only symlink
  to the script in this directory with the same name.
