dcron and /etc/default/run-parts

Hi,

I just see it's possible to set variables (and more) in /etc/default/run-parts. It's very very useful to set different $PATH to different user (and more things) globally without modifying/bloating crontabs files.

This behavior is not supported in 15.0. So I rebuilt dcron for 15.0 using current SB and it works. I'm very glad!!!

Thanks a lot Pat!

Interesting. Looks like the change was introduced Friday August 5 2022.

This looks useful. It seems to be undocumented in the man page.

Thanks also to Thom1b! Sorry, I saw this in requests for -current first.
