Thanks for the nudge.

In man cron, man crontab, and man 5 crontab, I cannot find the explanation of 
the "root run-part <file path>" construct. Any hints on where to find it. 
(Probably in the man pages, but I'm too tired to see it.) Is this a generally 
available feature to all cron users, or is it restricted to the system 
crontab (/etc/crontab)?
