Many, many times, I've been debugging things happening on my machine where it would have been extremely helpful to know exactly when a specific job executed by run-parts had been running. Alas, although cron or anacron logs when it starts run-parts, run-parts itself doesn't log when it starts and ends jobs. The attached patch fixes this. (While we're on the topic, I think it's unfortunate that cron only logs when jobs start, not when they finish, but that's a topic for a different bug report).
Created attachment 204141 [details] patch to add logging to run-parts
Nice. I'm testing it and I want push it to next devel.
